MAGMA DESIGN AUTOMATION, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Magma Design Automation, Inc. (Magma
or the Company), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to these rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to ensure that the
information presented is not misleading. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) to present a fair statement
of results for the interim periods presented. The operating results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending May 3, 2009. The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended April 6, 2008, as filed with the SEC on June 16, 2008. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at
April 6, 2008 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

Preparation of consolidated financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates such estimates and assumptions for continued reasonableness.
Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fiscal Year End

The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year. Prior to fiscal 2009, the fiscal year
ended on the first Sunday subsequent to March 31. On January 28, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a change of fiscal year from a fiscal year ending on the first Sunday subsequent to March 31 to a fiscal year ending on the first
Sunday subsequent to April 30 (except for any given year in which April 30 is a Sunday, in which case the fiscal year will end on April 30), starting with fiscal 2009.

The Companys fiscal years consist of four quarters of 13 weeks except for each fifth or sixth fiscal year, which includes one quarter with 14
weeks. The Companys fiscal year 2012 consists of 53 weeks and the second quarter of fiscal 2012 includes 14 weeks. The result of the additional week is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial
position or results of operations. All references to years or quarters in these notes to consolidated financial statements represent fiscal years or fiscal quarters, respectively, unless otherwise noted.

As a result of this change in fiscal year, we have included information covering the transition period from April 7, 2008 to May 4, 2008 in
this Form 10-Q pursuant to Rule 13a-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We did not experience a significant amount of business activity or product shipment during this period and have reported a loss. The low level of business
activity and revenue recognition resulted in part from the historical pattern of low levels of business activity in the first month of a fiscal year.

References in this Form 10-Q to the first quarter of fiscal 2009 represent the three months ended August 3, 2008. References in this Form 10Q to the first quarter of 2008 represent the three months ended
July 1, 2007. We have not submitted financial information for the three months ended July 29, 2007 in this Form 10Q because the information is not practical or cost beneficial to prepare. We believe that the first quarter of fiscal
2008 provides a meaningful comparison to the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We do not believe that there are any significant factors, seasonal or otherwise, that would impact the comparability of information or trends if results for the three months
ended July 29, 2007 were presented in lieu of results for the first quarter of 2008.

The separate audited financial statements
required for the one month transition period will be included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending May 3, 2009.

Deferred Revenue Correction

As a part of the Companys implementation of new automated controls in internal controls over financial reporting in the first quarter of 2009, the
Company identified certain amounts in deferred revenue recorded after events occurred which required the recognition of revenue or the reduction of goodwill. The error resulted from amounts not recognized once final revenue recognition criteria were
met; amounts not recognized within the write-down of an investment in a former customer; and amounts not adjusted to goodwill as part of the fair value adjustment to acquired deferred revenue within 12 months subsequent to acquisition.

The Company concluded the effect of the error was not material to any of the affected years and recorded the correction in the first quarter of 2009
as an increase in revenue and other income of $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and a decrease in goodwill and deferred revenue of $0.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively. As a result, the Companys operating loss was decreased
by $0.9 million and net loss was decreased by $1.1 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended August 3, 2008.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measures (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair
value measures required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS 157 became effective for the Company on April 7, 2008.

SFAS 157 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS No. 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value
Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 (FSP FAS 157-1). FSP FAS 157-1 provides a scope exception from SFAS 157 for the evaluation criteria on lease classification and capital lease
measurement under SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases and other related accounting pronouncements. Accordingly, the Company did not apply the provisions of SFAS 157 in determining the classification of and accounting for leases.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP FAS
157-2) which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. FSP FAS 157-2 will become effective for the Company on May 4, 2009.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of applying FSP FAS 157-2 to nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis. Examples of items to which the deferral would apply include, but are not limited to:



| |  |  | reporting units measured at fair value in the first step of a goodwill impairment test as described in Statement of Financial Standards No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), and nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value in the SFAS 142 goodwill impairment test, if applicable;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | indefinite-lived intangible assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment under SFAS 142, and nonfinancial long-lived assets (asset groups) measured at
fair value for an impairment assessment under SFAS 144; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | nonfinancial liabilities for exit or disposal activities initially measured at fair value under Statement of Financial Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146).
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a result of the issuance of FSP FAS 157-2, the
Company did not apply the provisions of SFAS 157 to the nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities within the scope of FSP FAS 157-2.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (SFAS 159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose
to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. The election, called the fair value option, will enable entities to achieve an offset accounting
effect for changes in fair value of certain related assets and liabilities without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the Companys 2009 fiscal year. The Company has evaluated the
provisions of SFAS 159 and did not elect the fair value option at this time.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified a consensus opinion reached by the EITF on EITF Issue 07-3,
Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities. The guidance in EITF 07-3 requires the Company to defer and capitalize nonrefundable advance payments
made for goods or services to be used in research and development activities until the goods have been delivered or the related services have been performed. If the goods are no longer expected to be delivered nor the services expected to be
performed, the Company would be required to expense the related capitalized advance payments. EITF 07-3 became effective for the Company on April 4, 2008 and had no material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 142-3, which amends the factors that must be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life over
which to amortize the cost of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets FSP 142-3 requires an entity to consider its own assumptions about renewal or extension of the term of
the arrangement, consistent with its expected use of the asset. FSP 142-3 also requires the Company to disclose the weighted-average period prior to the next renewal or extension for each major intangible asset class, the accounting policy for the
treatment of costs incurred to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible assets and for intangible assets renewed or extended during the period, if the Company will capitalize renewal or extension costs, the costs incurred to renew or
extend the asset and the weighted-average period prior to the next renewal or extension for each major intangible asset class. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. The guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset in of this FSP shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the
effective date. Early adoption is prohibited.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-6-1,
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (EITF 03-6-1). EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating
securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two-class method. EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards
that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders and are considered to be participating securities. As such, the issuing entity is required to apply the two-class method of computing
basic and diluted EPS. EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of
this standard on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Upon adoption, the Company is required to retrospectively adjust its earnings per share data (including any amounts related to interim periods, summaries of earnings and
selected financial data) to conform with the provisions in this FSP. Early application of this FSP is prohibited.

With the exception of
the discussion above, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended August 3, 2008, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 6, 2008, that are of significance or potential significance to us.

The Company has adopted several stock incentive plans providing stock-based awards to employees,
directors, advisors and consultants, including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), which enables employees to purchase shares of the Companys
common stock. Stock-based compensation expense by type of award was as follows (in thousands):

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock
options and ESPP awards. The Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporates various highly subjective assumptions including expected future stock price volatility and expected terms of instruments. The Company established the expected term for
employee options and awards, as well as forfeiture rates, based on the historical settlement experience, while giving consideration to vesting schedules and to options that have life cycles less than the contractual terms. Assumptions for option
exercises and pre-vesting terminations of options were stratified for employee groups with sufficiently distinct behavior patterns. Expected future stock price volatility was developed based on the average of the Companys historical weekly
stock price volatility and average implied volatility. The risk-free interest rate for the period within the expected life of the option is based on the yield of United States Treasury notes at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield used in
the calculation is zero as the Company has not historically paid dividends.

The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes
model and the weighted average grant date fair value per share were as follows:

As of August 3, 2008, there was approximately $14.7 million and $5.9 million of unrecognized
stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock option grants and ESPP awards, respectively, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 2.29 years and 1.78 years,
respectively.

The cost of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards is determined using the fair value of the Companys
common stock on the date of the grant, and compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is generally two to four years. As of August 3, 2008, there was approximately $2.0 million and $7.4 million of unrecognized
stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, respectively, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 0.7 years and
2.7 years, respectively.

Note 3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 as of April 7,
2008 for financial instruments. Although the adoption of SFAS 157 did not materially impact its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow, the Company is now required to provide additional disclosures as part of its
financial statements.

##### Table of Contents

SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring
fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Companys assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of SFAS 157 at August 3, 2008, were as follows (in thousands):

Long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets consist exclusively of auction
rate securities (ARS) that are AAA rated and are secured by pools of student loans guaranteed by state regulated higher education agencies and reinsured by the U.S. Department of Education. Historically, liquidity for investors in ARS
was provided via an auction process that reset the applicable interest rate generally every 28 days, allowing investors to either roll over their investments or sell them at par. Beginning in fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, there was insufficient
demand for these types of investments during the auctions and, as a result, these securities are not currently liquid. The Company may not be able to access cash by selling these securities without incurring a loss of principal until either
liquidity returns to the auction process, a secondary market emerges, they are redeemed by the issuer, or they mature in years ranging from 2031 to 2046. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Companys investment bank
for ARS investments announced publicly that they have committed to provide liquidity solutions to institutional investors, such as Magma, and will agree to purchase from their institutional investors all or any ARS that remain outstanding starting
in June 2010 through June 2012.

The Company classifies its ARS as available-for-sale and, therefore, they are carried at estimated
fair value. As of August 3, 2008, there was insufficient observable market information available to determine the fair value of the Companys ARS. Accordingly, the Company estimated Level 3 fair values for these securities based on the
investment banks valuations. The investment bank valued student loan ARSs as floating rate notes with three pricing inputs: the coupon, the current discount margin or spread, and the maturity. The coupon was generally assumed to equal the
maximum rate allowed under the terms of the instrument, the current discount margin was based on an assessment of observable yields on instruments bearing comparable risks, and the maturity was based on an assessment of the terms of the underlying
instrument and the potential for restructuring the ARS. The primary unobservable input to the valuation was the maturity assumption which was set at five years for the majority of ARS instruments. Through January 6, 2008, the ARS were valued at
par value due to the frequent resets that historically occurred through the auction process.

##### Table of Contents

Based on the level 3 valuation, the Company has recorded an unrealized loss of $0.9 million to
accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 3, 2008, reflecting declines in fair value of the Companys ARS. Since the commitment by the Companys investment bank to purchase the ARS
beginning in June 2010 did not occur until after quarter end, it did not affect the valuation as of August 3, 2008. The $0.9 million unrealized loss was deemed temporary as the Company believes that these investments generally are of high credit
quality, as substantially all of the investments carry an AAA credit rating and are secured by pools of student loans guaranteed by state regulated higher education agencies and reinsured by the U.S. Department of Education. In addition, the Company
currently has the intent and ability to hold these investments until anticipated recovery in market value occurs. If it is later determined that the fair value of these securities is other-than-temporarily impaired, the Company will record a loss in
the income statement. Due to the Companys belief that the market for these investments may take in excess of twelve months to fully recover, the Company has classified them as noncurrent assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet at of August 3, 2008.

Note 4. Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share
is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted net income per share gives effect to all dilutive potential
common shares outstanding during the period including stock options and redeemable convertible subordinated notes using the if-converted method.

For the three months ended August 3, 2008 and July 1, 2007 and the one month ended May 4, 2008, all potential common shares outstanding during the period were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as
their effect was anti-dilutive. Such shares included the following (in thousands, except per share data):

Note 9. Convertible Notes, Current and Long-Term

Current: Zero Coupon Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the 2008 Notes)

In May 2003, the Company completed an offering of $150.0 million principal amount of the 2008 Notes due May 15, 2008 to qualified buyers pursuant to
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $145.1 million. The 2008 Notes did not bear coupon interest and were initially convertible into shares of the Companys common
stock at a conversion price of $22.86 per share, for an aggregate of 6,561,680 shares. The 2008 Notes were subordinated to the Companys existing and future senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other
liabilities of the Companys subsidiaries. The Company paid approximately $4.5 million in transaction fees to the underwriters of the offering and approximately $0.4 million in other debt issuance costs. The Company amortized the transaction
fees and issuance costs over the life of the 2008 Notes using the effective interest method.

In May 2005, the Company repurchased, in
privately negotiated transactions, in an aggregate principal amount of $44.5 million (or approximately 29.7% of the total) of the 2008 Notes at an average discount to face value of approximately 22%. The Company spent approximately $34.8 million on
the repurchase. The repurchase left approximately $105.5 million principal amount of the 2008 Notes outstanding. In addition, a portion of the hedge and warrant transactions was terminated in connection with the repurchase. In fiscal 2006, the
Company recorded a gain of $9.7 million on the repurchase of the 2008 Notes, which was partially offset by the write-off of $0.9 million of deferred financing costs associated with the 2008 Notes. The net proceeds of $140,000 from the termination of
a portion of the hedge and warrant were charged to additional paid-in capital.

In May 2006, the Company repurchased, in privately
negotiated transactions, in an aggregate principal amount of $40.3 million (or approximately 38.2% of the remaining principal) of the 2008 Notes at an average discount to face value of approximately 13%. The Company spent approximately $35.0 million
on the repurchases. The repurchase left approximately $65.2 million principal amount of the 2008 Notes outstanding. In addition, a portion of the hedge and warrant transactions was terminated in connection with the repurchase. In the first quarter
of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded a gain of $5.3 million on the repurchase, which was partially offset by the write-off of $0.5 million of deferred financing costs associated with the 2008 Notes. The Company received 14,467 shares of Magma common
stock, valued at approximately $102,000, as settlement for termination of a portion of the hedge and warrant in connection with the repurchase. The amount was charged to additional paid-in-capital.

In March 2007, the Company exchanged, in privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate principal amount of $49.9 million (or approximately 76.7% of the
remaining principal) of the 2008 Notes for a new series of 2% convertible senior notes due May 2010. The exchange left approximately $15.2 million principal amount of the 2008 Notes outstanding. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company
recorded a gain of $2.1 million on the exchange, which was partially offset by the write-off of $0.4 million of deferred financing costs associated with the 2008 Notes. Please see below under 2% Convertible Senior Notes due 2010 for
further discussion of the exchange. In addition, a portion of the hedge and warrant was terminated in connection with the exchange. The net proceeds of $88,000 from the termination of a portion of the hedge and warrant were charged to additional
paid-in capital. The $15.2 million remaining principal amount of the 2008 Notes and the related $10,000 of unamortized balance of transaction fees and debt issuance costs were included in current liabilities on the Companys consolidated
balance sheets as of April 6, 2008.

In May 2008, the Company repaid the $15.2 million in remaining principal amount of its 2008 Notes. In
connection with the repayment, the remaining portion of the hedge and warrant expired.

Long-Term: 2% Convertible Senior Notes due 2010
(the 2010 Notes)

In March 2007, the Company exchanged, in privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate principal amount
of $49.9 million of the 2008 Notes for an equal aggregate principal amount of the 2010 Notes. The 2010 Notes mature on May 15, 2010 and bear interest at 2% per annum, with interest payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year,
commencing May 15, 2007. The 2010 Notes are unsecured senior indebtedness of Magma, which rank senior in right of payment to the 2008 Notes and junior in right of payment to Magmas revolving line of credit facility. In addition, after
May 20, 2009, the Company will have the option to redeem the 2010 Notes for cash in an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount at the time of such redemption. The 2010 Notes also contain a net share settlement
provision which allows the Company, at its option, in lieu of delivery of some or all of the shares of common stock otherwise issuable upon conversion of the 2010 Notes, to pay holders of the 2010 Notes in cash for all or a portion of the principal
amount of the converted 2010 Notes and any amounts in excess of the principal amount which are due.

The 2010 Notes will be convertible
upon the occurrence of certain conditions into shares of Magma common stock at an initial conversion price of $15.00 per share, which is equivalent to an initial conversion rate of approximately 66 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2010 Notes.
The conversion price and the conversion rate will adjust automatically upon certain dilution events. The 2010 Notes are convertible into shares of Magma common stock on or prior to maturity at the option of the holders upon the occurrence of certain
change of control events. Conversions under these circumstances require Magma to pay a premium make-whole amount whereby the conversion rate on the 2010 Notes may be increased by up to 22 shares per $1,000 principal amount. The premium make-whole
amount shall be paid in shares of common stock upon any such automatic conversion, subject to Magmas option for net share settlement.

The 2010 Notes shall also be convertible at the option of the holders at such time as: (i) the closing price of Magma common stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price of the 2010 Notes, initially $15.00, for 20 out of 30 consecutive
trading days; (ii) the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2010 Notes is less than 98% of the product of (x) the average price of common stock for each day during any five consecutive trading day period and (y) the conversion
rate per $1,000 principal amount of 2010 Notes; (iii) Magma distributes to all holders of common stock rights or warrants entitling them to purchase additional shares of common stock at less than the closing price of common stock on
March 5, 2007; (iv) Magma distributes to all holders of common stock any form of dividend which has a per share value exceeding 7.5% of the price of the common stock on the day prior to such date of distribution; (v) the period
beginning 60 days prior to May 15, 2010; (vi) there has been a designated change of control of Magma; or (vii) the 2010 Notes have been called for redemption by Magma. Any such conversions shall not entitle the holders of the 2010
Notes to any premium make-whole payment by Magma.

The exchange offer was treated as an extinguishment of the 2008 Notes in accordance with
EITF 96-19, Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments, as amended by EITF 06-6, Debtors Accounting for a Modification (or Exchange) of Convertible Debt Instruments. The exchange resulted in a
gain of $2.1 million on extinguishment of debt, which was partially offset by the write-off of $0.4 million of deferred financing costs associated with the 2008 Notes. The Company initially recorded the 2010 Notes at fair value of $47.8 million, net
of the debt discount of $2.1 million. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expenses over the term of the 2010 Notes. As of August 3, 2008, debt discount balance related to the 2010 Notes was $1.2 million.

The $1.3 million of underwriting and legal fees related to the 2010 Notes offering was capitalized upon issuance and is being amortized over the term of
the 2010 Notes using the effective interest method. As of August 3, 2008, the unamortized balance of debt issuance costs related to the 2010 Notes was approximately $0.8 million.

The shares issuable on the conversion of the 2010 Notes are included in fully diluted shares outstanding under the if-converted method of
accounting for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share.

Note 10. Revolving note

In July 2007, the Company established a $10.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A (the credit
facility). The credit facility is available through July 2010 and bears an interest rate equal to the banks prime rate less 1.20% or LIBOR plus 1.00% at managements election. The Company is required to make interest only payments
monthly and the outstanding principal amount plus all accrued but unpaid interest is payable in full at the expiration of the credit facility.

On May 31, 2008 the credit facility was amended to temporarily increase the total amount available for borrowing to $15.0 million until August 31, 2008, at which time the total amount available for borrowing reverts back to $10.0
million and any borrowings in excess of $10.0 million are due and payable.

##### Table of Contents

The credit facility requires that the Company maintain certain financial conditions and pay fees of
0.075% per year on the unused amount of the credit facility. As of August 3, 2008, the Company was not in compliance with the financial conditions and obtained a waiver for this noncompliance as well as an extension of the temporary
increase in the total amount available until September 30, 2008. In addition, the credit facility allows letters of credit to be issued on behalf of the Company, provided that the aggregate outstanding amount of the letters of credit shall not
exceed the total amount available for borrowing under the credit facility.

As of August 3, 2008, the Company had outstanding
borrowings of $13.0 million under the credit facility and two letters of credit totaling $1.7 million outstanding leaving $0.3 million available under the credit facility. The Company has classified $4.7 million as current on this credit facility
given the temporary extension date of September 30, 2008. Since the credit facility is unsecured, the Company is not required to maintain restricted cash balances relating to the letters of credit under the facility.

Note 11. Restructuring charges

As a result of the
Companys desire to improve its cost structure, the Company initiated a restructuring plan in May 2008 (FY 2009 Restructuring Plan). The Company has also undertaken various other restructuring plans in prior years.

The FY 2009 Restructuring Plan was implemented to better align the Companys resources and improve operating efficiencies. As such, during the
quarter ended August 3, 2008, the Company incurred $2.0 million in pre-tax restructuring charges associated with the FY 2009 Restructuring Plans termination of 71 employees and costs related to expatriate relocation. The net liability is
expected to be paid through fiscal year 2010. The restructuring liability activity was as follows (in thousands):

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.3
million for costs related to termination of 21 employees resulting from the Companys realignment to current business conditions. As of April 6, 2008, all of these termination costs had been paid and the Company had not planned to incur
additional costs related to this business realignment.

Note 12. Contingencies

The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings described below and from time to time, it is also involved in other disputes that arise in the
ordinary course of business. The number and significance of these litigation proceedings and disputes are increasing as the Companys business expands and grows larger. Any claims against the Company, whether meritorious or not, could be time
consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. As a result, these litigation proceedings and disputes could harm the Companys business
and have an adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements. However, the results of any litigation or dispute are inherently uncertain and, at this time, no estimate could be made of the loss or range of loss, if any, from such litigation
matters and disputes unless they are or are close to being settled. Liabilities are recorded when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, the Company recorded a liability of $1.1 million in fiscal year 2008 to
cover legal settlement exposure related to the shareholder class action lawsuit and the derivative complaint, as described below, and has not recorded any liabilities related to other contingencies. In accordance with the proposed settlement
agreement, the Company deposited into escrow $1.0 million in June 2008, which $1.0 million has been classified as a reduction of the previously recorded liability. However, any estimates of losses or any such recording of legal settlement exposure
is not a guarantee that there will be any court approval of any settlement, and there is no assurance that there will be any final, court approved settlement. Litigation settlement and legal fees are expensed in the period in which they are
incurred.

On June 13, 2005, a putative shareholder class action lawsuit captionedThe Cornelia I. Crowell GST Trust vs. Magma
Design Automation, Inc., Rajeev Madhavan, Gregory C. Walker and Roy E. Jewell., No. C 05 02394, was filed in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that defendants failed to disclose information regarding the
risk of Magma infringing intellectual property rights of Synopsys, Inc., in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and prays for unspecified damages. In March 2006, defendants filed a motion
to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. Plaintiff filed a further amended complaint in June 2006, which defendants again moved to dismiss. Defendants motion was granted in part and denied in part by an order dated August 18, 2006,
which dismissed claims against two of the individual defendants. On November 30, 2007, the parties agreed to a settlement. The court granted preliminary approval to the settlement on July 7, 2008, and scheduled a hearing for final approval
of the settlement for November 21, 2008. There is no assurance that the court will grant final approval of the settlement.

##### Table of Contents

On July 26, 2005, a putative derivative complaint captionedSusan Willis v. Magma Design
Automation, Inc. et al., No. 1-05-CV-045834, was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Santa Clara. The Complaint seeks unspecified damages purportedly on behalf of us for alleged breaches of fiduciary
duties by various directors and officers, as well as for alleged violations of insider trading laws by executives during a period between October 23, 2002 and April 12, 2005. Defendants have demurred to the Complaint, and the action has
been stayed pending further developments in the putative shareholder class action referenced above. On January 8, 2008, the parties reached an agreement in principle with respect to certain aspects of settlement of the case and agreed upon the
remaining terms of the settlement on February 21, 2008. The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on August 4, 2008, and scheduled a hearing for final approval of the settlement for October 3, 2008. There is no
assurance that the court will grant final approval of the settlement.

Indemnification Obligations

The Company enters into standard license agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company agrees to indemnify its
customers for losses suffered or incurred by them as a result of any patent, copyright, or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Companys products. These indemnification obligations have
perpetual terms. The Companys normal business practice is to limit the maximum amount of indemnification to the amount received from the customer. On occasion, the maximum amount of indemnification the Company may be required to provide may
exceed the amount received from the customer. The Company estimates the fair value of its indemnification obligations to be insignificant, based upon its historical experience concerning product and patent infringement claims. Accordingly, the
Company has no liabilities recorded for indemnification under these agreements as of August 3, 2008.

The Company has agreements
whereby its officers and directors are indemnified for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at the Companys request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could
be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a directors and officers liability insurance policy that reduces its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of future
amounts paid. As a result of the Companys insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded for these agreements as of
August 3, 2008.

In connection with certain of the Companys recent business acquisitions, it has also agreed to assume, or cause
Company subsidiaries to assume, the indemnification obligations of those companies to their respective officers and directors. No liabilities have been recorded for these agreements as of August 3, 2008.

Warranties

The Company offers
certain customers a warranty that its products will conform to the documentation provided with the products. To date, there have been no payments or material costs incurred related to fulfilling these warranty obligations. Accordingly, the Company
has no liabilities recorded for these warranties as of August 3, 2008. The Company assesses the need for a warranty accrual on a quarterly basis, and there can be no guarantee that a warranty accrual will not become necessary in the future.

Note 13. Segment Information

The
Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, which requires the reporting of segment information using the management approach. Under this approach,
operating segments are identified in substantially the same manner as they are reported internally and used by the Companys chief operating decision maker (CODM) for purposes of evaluating performance and allocating resources.
Based on this approach, the Company has one reportable segment as the CODM reviews financial information on a basis consistent with that presented in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 14. Income Taxes

As of August 3, 2008, the Company had approximately $12.2 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which $5.3 million, if recognized,
would favorably affect its effective tax rate in future periods and $1.6 million, if recognized, would result in a credit to additional paid-in capital. The Company currently has a full valuation allowance against its U.S. net deferred tax
assets which would impact the timing of the effective tax rate benefit should any of these uncertain tax positions be favorably settled in the future.

Upon adoption of FASB Interpretation Number 48 (FIN 48), the Company adopted an accounting policy to classify interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. For years prior to
adoption of FIN 48, the Company also reported interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of August 3, 2008, the total amount of accrued interest and penalties was $0.4 million.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and in numerous foreign jurisdictions and, in the ordinary course of business, there are many
transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The statute of limitations for adjustments to the Companys historic tax obligations will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The tax years 2002 to 2007 remain
open to examination by the major tax jurisdictions where the Company operates. At August 3, 2008, the Company does not anticipate that its total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change due to any settlement of examination or
expiration of statute of limitation within the next twelve months.

Note 15. Subsequent Events

On August 11, 2008, the Company entered into a master installment payment agreement in connection with the licensing of certain software for a total of $0.9 million.
The agreement is to be paid over 36 months.

|ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section should be read in conjunction with our condensed
consolidated financial statements and results appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Companys Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 6, 2008. Throughout this section, we make forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. You can often identify these and other forward-looking statements by terms such as becoming, may, will, should, predicts, potential,
continue, anticipates, believes, estimates, seeks, expects, plans, intends, or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, our expectations about revenue and various operating expenses. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, and we have based these expectations on our beliefs and
assumptions, such expectations may prove to be incorrect. These forward-looking statements are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provision of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our actual results of operations and financial
performance could differ significantly from those expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to the risks discussed in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q under the caption Risk Factors as well as the following factors: competition in the EDA market; Magmas ability to integrate acquired businesses and technologies; market acceptance of new products; potentially
higher-than-anticipated costs of litigation; potentially higher-than-anticipated costs of compliance with regulatory requirements, including those relating to internal control over financial reporting; any delay of customer orders or failure of
customers to renew licenses; adoption of products by customers; weaker-than-anticipated sales of Magmas products and services; weakness in the semiconductor or electronic systems industries or the economy more generally; the ability to manage
expanding operations; the ability to attract and retain the key management and technical personnel needed to operate Magma successfully; the ability to continue to deliver competitive products to customers; and changes in accounting rules. We do not
intend to, and we do not undertake any additional obligation to update these forward-looking statements after the date of this report to reflect actual results or future events or circumstances.

Change in Fiscal Year End

Prior to fiscal 2009, we
had a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the first Sunday subsequent to March 31. On January 28, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a change of fiscal year from a fiscal year ending on the first Sunday subsequent to March 31 to a
fiscal year ending on the first Sunday subsequent to April 30 (except for any given year in which April 30 is a Sunday, in which case the fiscal year will end on April 30), starting with fiscal 2009. Our fiscal years consist of four
quarters of 13 weeks each except for each fifth or sixth fiscal year, which includes one quarter with 14 weeks.

The Companys 2009
fiscal year began on May 5, 2008 and will end on May 3, 2009, resulting in a one-month transition period that began on April 7, 2008 and ended May 4, 2008. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes the unaudited results for the
quarters ended August 3, 2008 and July 1, 2007, as well as the transition period from April 7, 2008 to May 4, 2008 pursuant to Rule 13a-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We did not experience a
significant amount of business activity or product shipment during this period and have reported a loss. The low level of business activity and revenue recognition resulted in part from the historical pattern of low levels of business activity in
the first month of a fiscal year.

References in this Form 10-Q to the first quarter of fiscal 2009 represent the three months ended
August 3, 2008. References in this Form 10Q to the first quarter of 2008 represent the three months ended July 1, 2007. We have not submitted financial information for the three months ending July 29, 2007 in this Form 10Q
because the information is not practical or cost beneficial to prepare. We believe that the first quarter of fiscal 2008 provides a meaningful comparison to the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We do not believe that there are any significant factors,
seasonal or otherwise, that would impact the comparability of information or trends if results for the three months ended July 29, 2007 were presented in lieu of results for the first quarter of 2008.

The separate audited financial statements required for the transition period will be included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ending May 3, 2009.

Overview

Magma Design Automation provides EDA software products and related services. Our software enables chip designers to reduce the time it takes to design and produce complex integrated circuits used in the communications, computing, consumer
electronics, networking and semiconductor industries. Our products are used in all major phases of the chip development cycle, from initial design through physical implementation. Our focus is on software used to design technologically advanced
integrated circuits, specifically those with feature sizes of 0.13-micron and smaller.

As an EDA software provider, we generate
substantially all our revenue from the semiconductor and electronics industries. Our customers typically fund purchases of our software and services out of their research and development (R&D) budgets. As a result, our revenue is
heavily influenced by our customers long-term business outlook and willingness to invest in new chip designs.

##### Table of Contents

The semiconductor industry is highly volatile and cost-sensitive. Our customers focus on controlling
costs and reducing risk, lowering R&D expenditures, decreasing the number of design starts, purchasing from fewer suppliers, and requiring more favorable pricing and payment terms from suppliers. In addition, intense competition among suppliers
of EDA products has resulted in pricing pressure on EDA products.

To support our customers, we have focused on providing the most
technologically advanced products to address each step in the integrated circuit design process, as well as integrating these products into broad platforms, and expanding our product offerings. Our goal is to be the EDA technology supplier of choice
for our customers as they pursue longer-term, broader and more flexible relationships with fewer suppliers.

During the first quarter of
fiscal 2009, we recognized quarterly revenue of $45.7 million, which decreased 17% from the preceding quarter and 9% from the same quarter in fiscal 2008. License sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 accounted for approximately 57% of
total revenue, compared to 65% in the preceding quarter and 64% in the first quarter of the prior year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can have a significant impact on our revenue,
operating income or loss and net income or loss, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our balance sheet. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the
most significant potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. We consider the following accounting policies related to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, allowance for
doubtful accounts, strategic investments, asset purchases and business combinations, valuation of long-lived assets and income taxes to be our most critical policies due to the estimation processes involved in each.

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue in
accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, as modified by SOP 98-9, which generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements (such as software products, upgrades, enhancements, maintenance,
installation and training) to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements. The fair value of an element must be based on evidence that is specific to us. If evidence of fair value does not exist for each element of
a license arrangement and maintenance is the only undelivered element, then all revenue for the license arrangement is recognized over the term of the agreement. If evidence of fair value does exist for the elements that have not been delivered, but
does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method, under which recognition of revenue for the undelivered elements is deferred and the residual license fee is recognized as revenue immediately.

Our revenue recognition policy is detailed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-K for the year ended
April 6, 2008. Management has made significant judgments related to revenue recognition. Specifically, in connection with each transaction involving our products (referred to as an arrangement in the accounting literature) we must
evaluate whether our fee is fixed or determinable and we must assess whether collectibility is probable. These judgments are discussed below.

The fee is fixed or determinable. With respect to each arrangement, we must make a judgment as to whether the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable. If the fee is fixed or determinable, then revenue is
recognized upon delivery of software (assuming other revenue recognition criteria are met). If the fee is not fixed or determinable, then the revenue is recognized when customer installments are due and payable.

In order for an arrangement to be considered to have fixed or determinable fees, 100% of the license, services and initial post contract support fee is
to be paid within one year or less from the order date. We have a history of collecting fees on such arrangements according to contractual terms. Arrangements with payment terms extending beyond twelve months are considered not to be fixed or
determinable.

Collectibility is probable. In order to recognize revenue, we must make a judgment about the collectibility of the
arrangement fee. Our judgment of the collectibility is applied on a customer-by-customer basis pursuant to our credit review policy. We typically sell to customers for which there is a history of successful collection. New customers are subjected to
a credit review process, which evaluates the customers financial positions and ability to pay. If it is determined from the outset of an arrangement that collectibility is not probable based upon our credit review process, revenue is
recognized on a cash receipts basis (as each payment is collected).

##### Table of Contents

Licenses revenue and bundled licenses and services revenue

We derive license revenue primarily from licenses of our design and implementation software and, to a lesser extent, from licenses of our analysis and
verification products. We license our products under time-based and perpetual licenses whereby license revenue is recognized after the execution of a license agreement and the delivery of the product to the customer, provided that there are no
uncertainties surrounding the product acceptance, fees are fixed or determinable, collection is probable and there are no remaining obligations other than maintenance.

For perpetual licenses and unbundled time-based license arrangements, where maintenance is included for the first period of the license term, with maintenance thereafter renewable by the customer at the substantive
rates stated in their agreements with us, the stated rate for maintenance renewal is vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value of maintenance in these arrangements. For these arrangements license revenue is recognized
using the residual method in the period in which the license agreement is executed assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Where an arrangement involves extended payment terms, revenue recognized using the residual method is limited
to amounts due and payable.

For transactions that include bundled maintenance for the entire license term we have no VSOE of fair value of
maintenance. Therefore, we recognize license revenue ratably over the maintenance period. If an arrangement involves extended payment termsthat is, where payment for less than 100% of the arrangement fee is due within one year of the contract
datewe recognize revenue to the extent of the lesser of the amount due and payable or the ratable portion. We classify the revenue recognized from these transactions separately as bundled licenses and services revenue in our consolidated
statements of operations.

If we were to change any of these assumptions or judgments, it could cause a material increase or decrease in
the amount of revenue that we report in a particular period. Amounts invoiced relating to arrangements where revenue cannot be recognized are reflected on our balance sheet as deferred revenue and recognized over time as the applicable revenue
recognition criteria are satisfied.

Services revenue

We derive services revenue primarily from consulting and training for our software products and from maintenance fees for our products. Most of our license agreements include maintenance, generally for a one-year
period, renewable annually. Services revenue from maintenance arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the maintenance term. Because we have VSOE of fair value for consulting and training services, revenue is recognized as these
services are performed or completed. Our consulting and training services are generally not essential to the functionality of the software. Our products are fully functional upon delivery of the product. Additional factors considered in determining
whether the revenue should be accounted for separately include, but are not limited to: degree of risk, availability of services from other vendors, timing of payments and impact of milestones or acceptance criteria on our ability to recognize the
software license fee.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting period of the award.

Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires the input of various highly subjective assumptions, including expected future
stock price volatility, expected term of instruments and expected forfeiture rates. We established the expected term for employee options and awards, as well as forfeiture rates, based on the historical settlement experience, while giving
consideration to vesting schedules and to options that have estimated life cycles less than the contractual terms. Assumptions for option exercises and pre-vesting terminations of options were stratified for employee groups with sufficiently
distinct behavior patterns. Expected future stock price volatility was developed based on the average of our historical weekly stock price volatility and average implied volatility. These input factors are subjective and are determined using
managements judgment. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be materially affected.

Unbilled accounts receivable

Unbilled accounts receivable represent revenue that has been
recognized in advance of being invoiced to the customer. In all cases, the revenue and unbilled receivables are for contracts which are non-cancelable, in which there are no contingencies and where the customer has taken delivery of both the
software and the encryption key required to operate the software. We typically generate invoices 45 days in advance of contractual due dates, and we invoice the entire amount of the unbilled accounts receivable within one year from the contract
inception.

Allowances for doubtful accounts

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We regularly
review the adequacy of our accounts receivable allowance after considering the size of the accounts receivable balance, each customers expected ability to pay and our collection history with each customer. We review significant invoices that
are past due to determine if an allowance is appropriate using the factors described above. We also monitor our accounts receivable for concentration in any one customer, industry or geographic region.

As of August 3, 2008, three of our customers each accounted for more than 10% of total receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents
our best estimate, but changes in circumstances relating to accounts receivable may result in a requirement for additional allowances in the future. If actual losses are significantly greater than the allowance we have established, that would
increase our general and administrative expenses and reported net loss. Conversely, if actual credit losses are significantly less than our allowance, this would decrease our general and administrative expenses and our reported net income would
increase.

Cash equivalent, short-term investments and long-term investments

We account for our investments in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. These
investments are classified as available-for-sale, and are recorded on the balance sheet at fair market value as of the balance sheet date, with unrealized gains or losses considered to be temporary in nature reported as a component of other
comprehensive income (loss) within the stockholders equity on our consolidated balance sheets.

In September 2006, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value and establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in
measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly
observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

We have investments in auction rate securities (ARS) classified as Level 3 that are AAA rated and are secured by pools of student loans guaranteed by state regulated higher education agencies and reinsured
by the U.S. Department of Education. Historically, liquidity for investors in ARS was provided via an auction process that reset the applicable interest rate generally every 28 days, allowing investors to either roll over their investments or sell
them at par. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, there was insufficient demand for these types of investments during the auctions and, as a result, these securities are not currently liquid.

Estimating the fair value of investments in ARS requires numerous assumptions. Our level 3 fair value for these securities is based on the investment
banks valuations. The investment bank valued student loan ARSs as floating rate notes with three pricing inputs: the coupon, the current discount margin or spread, and the maturity. The coupon was generally assumed to equal the maximum rate
allowed under the terms of the instrument, the current discount margin was based on an assessment of observable yields on instruments bearing comparable risks, and the maturity was based on an assessment of the terms of the underlying instrument and
the potential for restructuring the ARS. The primary unobservable input to the valuation was the maturity assumption which was set at five years for the majority of ARS instruments. These fair value assumptions are subject to uncertainties, are
difficult to predict, and require significant judgment. The use of different assumptions and changes in future market conditions could result in significantly different estimates of fair value. There is no assurance as to when the market for ARS
will stabilize. Write-downs, if recorded, could be materially different from the actual market performance of investments in our portfolio, if, among other things, relevant information related to our investments was not publicly available or other
factors not considered by us would have been relevant to the determination of impairment. If these uncertainties continue or if these securities experience credit rating downgrades or changes in the rates of default on the underlying assets, we may
incur additional impairment on our ARS portfolio. We continue to monitor the fair value of our ARS and relevant market conditions and will record additional impairment if future circumstances warrant such charges.

Accounting for asset purchases and business combinations

We are required to allocate the purchase price of acquired assets and business combinations to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, as well as in-process research and development based on
their estimated fair values. Such a valuation requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.

Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from license sales, maintenance agreements, consulting contracts, customer contracts, acquired
workforce and acquired developed technologies and patents; expected costs to develop the in-process research and development into commercially viable products and estimated cash flows from the projects when completed; the acquired companys
brand awareness and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired brand will continue to be used in the combined companys product portfolio; and discount rates. Managements estimates of fair value are
based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur.

Other estimates associated with the accounting for business combinations may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed resulting in changes in the purchase price allocation.

Goodwill impairment

SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual
basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to
reporting units, and determining the fair value of the reporting units. We have determined that we have one reporting unit (see Note 13 to the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended April 6, 2008`). Significant judgments required to
estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for the
reporting units. Any impairment losses recorded in the future could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Valuation of intangibles and long-lived assets

SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets, requires that we record an impairment charge on finite-lived intangibles or long-lived assets to be held and used when we determine that the carrying value of intangible assets and long-lived assets may not be recoverable.
If one or more indicators of impairment exist, we will measure any impairment of intangibles or long-lived assets based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk
inherent in our business model. Our estimates of cash flows require significant judgment based on our historical results and anticipated results and are subject to many factors.

Income taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain.
The amount of income taxes we pay could be subject to audits by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities, which could result in proposed assessments. Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final
outcome of these tax matters will not be different from what was reflected in our historical income tax provisions.

We assess the
likelihood that our net deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that the recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance. We consider all available positive and negative evidence
including our past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent fiscal years, future taxable income, and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. We will
continue to evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. Future reversals or increases to our valuation allowance could have a significant impact on our future earnings.

Strategic investments in privately-held companies

Our strategic equity investments consist of preferred stock and convertible notes that are convertible into preferred or common stock of several privately-held companies. The carrying value of our portfolio of strategic equity investments
totaled $3.6 million at August 3, 2008. Our ability to recover our investments in private, non-marketable equity securities and convertible notes and to earn a return on these investments is primarily dependent on how successfully these
companies are able to execute on their business plans and how well their products are accepted, as well as their ability to obtain additional capital funding to continue operations.

Under our accounting policy, the carrying value of a non-marketable investment is the amount paid for the investment unless it has been determined to be
other than temporarily impaired, in which case we write the investment down to its estimated fair value. For equity investments where our ownership interest is between 20% to 50%, or where we have significant influence on the investees
operating or financial decisions, we record our share of net equity income (loss) of the investee based on our proportionate ownership.

We
review all of our investments periodically for impairment; however, for non-marketable equity securities, the fair value analysis requires significant judgment. This analysis includes assessment of each investees financial condition, the
business outlook for its products and technology, its projected results and cash flows, the likelihood of obtaining subsequent rounds of financing and the impact of any relevant contractual equity preferences held by us or others. If an investee
obtains additional funding at a valuation lower than our carrying amount, we presume that the investment is other than temporarily impaired, unless specific facts and circumstances indicate otherwise, such as when we hold contractual rights that
give us a preference over the rights of other investors. As the equity markets have experienced volatility over the past few years, we have experienced substantial impairments in our portfolio of non-marketable equity securities. If certain equity

attempt to raise additional funds, the funds may not be available to them, or they may receive lower valuations, with more onerous investment terms than in
previous financings, and the investments will likely become impaired. However, we are not able to determine at the present time which specific investments are likely to be impaired in the future, or the extent or timing of individual impairments. We
recorded impairment charges related to these non-marketable equity investments of $0.2 million and $17,000, respectively, for the three months ended August 3, 2008 and one month ended May 4, 2008. Similarly, we recorded impairment charges
related to these non-marketable equity investments of $0.2 million for the three months ended July 1, 2007.

Revenue

Revenue is
comprised of licenses revenue, bundled licenses and services revenue, and services revenue. Licenses revenue consists of fees for time-based or perpetual licenses of our software products. Bundled licenses and services revenue consists of fees for
software licenses and post-contract customer support (PCS), where we do not have VSOE of fair value of PCS. Services revenue consists of fees for services, such as customer training, consulting and PCS associated with unbundled license
arrangements. We recognize revenue based on the specific terms and conditions of the license contracts with our customer for our products and services as described in detail above under the caption Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates. For management reporting and analysis purposes we classify our revenue into the following four categories:



| |  |  | Ratable
| | - |  | -------



| |  |  | Due & Payable
| | - |  | -------------



| |  |  | Cash Receipts
| | - |  | -------------



| |  |  | Up-Front / Perpetual or Time-Based
| | - |  | ----------------------------------

We classify our license arrangements as either bundled or unbundled. Bundled license contracts include maintenance with the license fee and do not include optional maintenance periods. Unbundled license contracts have separate maintenance
fees and include optional maintenance periods.

We use this classification of license revenue to provide greater insight into the reporting
and monitoring of trends in the components of our revenue and to assist us in managing our business. It is important to note that the characterization of an individual contract may change over time. For example, a contract originally characterized
as Ratable may be redefined as Cash Receipts if that customer has difficulty in making payments in a timely fashion. In cases where a contract has been re-characterized for management reporting purposes, prior periods are not restated to reflect
that change. The following table shows the breakdown of license revenue by category as defined for management reporting and analysis purposes (in thousands, except for percentage data):

Ratable. For bundled time-based licenses, we recognize license revenue ratably over the contract term, or
as customer payments become due and payable, if less. The revenue for these bundled arrangements for both license and maintenance is classified as bundled licenses and services revenue in our statements of operations. For unbundled time-based
licenses with a term of less than 15 months, we recognize license revenue ratably over the license term. For management reporting and analysis purposes, we refer to both these types of licenses generally as Ratable and we generally refer
to all time-based licenses recognized on a ratable basis as Long-Term, independent of the actual length of term of the license.

##### Table of Contents

We classify unbundled perpetual or time-based licenses with a term of fifteen months or greater based on
the payment term structure, as Due and Payable, Cash Receipts or Up-Front:

Due and
Payable/Time-Based licenses with long-term payments. For unbundled time-based licenses where the payment terms extend greater than one year from the arrangement effective date, we recognize license revenue on a due and payable basis and we
recognize maintenance and services revenue ratably over the maintenance term. For management reporting and analysis purposes, we refer to this type of license generally as Due and Payable/Long-Term Time-Based Licenses.

Cash Receipts. We recognize revenue from customers who have not met our predetermined credit criteria on a cash receipts basis to the extent
that revenue has otherwise been earned. Such customers generally order short-term time based licenses or separate annual maintenance. We recognize license revenue as we receive cash payments from these customers. Maintenance is recognized ratably
over the maintenance term as we received cash payments from these customers. For management reporting and analysis purposes, we refer to this type of license revenue as Cash Receipts.

Up-Front/Perpetual license or Time-Based licenses with short-term payments. For unbundled time-based and perpetual licenses, we recognize
license revenue upon shipment if the payment terms require the customer to pay 100% of the license fee and the initial period of PCS within one year from the agreement date and payments are generally linear. We recognize maintenance revenue ratably
over the maintenance term. In all of these cases, the contracts are non-cancelable, and the customer has taken delivery of both the software and the encryption key required to operate the software. For management reporting and analysis purposes, we
refer to this type of license generally as Up-Front, where the license is either perpetual or time-based.

Our license revenue
in any given quarter depends upon the mix and volume of perpetual or short-term licenses ordered during the quarter and the amount of long-term ratable or due and payable, and cash receipts license revenue recognized during the quarter. In general,
we refer to license revenue recognized from perpetual or time-based licenses during the quarter as Up-Front revenue, for management reporting and analysis purposes. All other types of revenue are generally referred to as revenue from
backlog. We set our revenue targets for any given period based, in part, upon an assumption that we will achieve a certain level of orders and a certain mix of short-term licenses. The precise mix of orders fluctuates substantially from period to
period and affects the revenue we recognize in the period. If we achieve our target level of total orders but are unable to achieve our target license mix, we may not meet our revenue targets (if we have more-than-expected long-term licenses) or may
exceed them (if we have more-than-expected short-term or perpetual licenses). If we achieve the target license mix but the overall level of orders is below the target level, then we may not meet our revenue targets as described in the risk factors
in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.

Revenue



| |  |  | Revenue for the three months ended August 3, 2008 was $45.7 million, down 9% from the three months ended July 1, 2007.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Licenses revenue decreased by 18% in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007 primarily due to a lower
level of revenue from orders executed during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 in North America, Asia-Pacific and Japan. License revenue came from new customers and existing customers who extended license periods and added license capacity due to the
continued proliferation of existing and new Magma products among their design group designers. We do not factor any of our receivables to obtain revenue. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to customer delays in purchasing and changes
in our sales channel. One customer accounted for greater than 10% of total revenue for the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to two customers for the three months ended July 1, 2007. Licenses revenue as a percentage of total
revenue decreased by 7% in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007.

| |  |  | Bundled licenses and services revenue increased by 3% in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007
primarily driven by orders from a few of the Companys new and existing customers. Bundled licenses and services revenue increased in Europe and Japan. Bundled licenses and services revenue orders came from existing customers who extended
license periods and added license capacity due to continued proliferation of existing and new Magma products among their design group designers. Bundled licenses and services revenue as a percentage of total revenue increased by 3% in the three
months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Services revenue increased by 14% in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007 due to a $0.7 million
increase in maintenance revenue and $0.5 million increase in services and training revenue. The increase in maintenance revenue was primarily due to our growth in customer base on a year over year basis. Services revenue as a percentage of total
revenue increased by 4% in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Domestic revenuedecreased slightly in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007. The decrease in
domestic revenue was primarily attributable to customer delays in purchases and changes in our sales channels. Domestic revenue as a percentage of total revenue increased by 4% in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three
months ended July 1, 2007.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | International revenue decreased by 17% in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007. The decrease in
international revenue was primarily attributable to customer delays in purchases and changes in our sales channels. International revenue as a percentage of total revenue decreased 4% in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the
three months ended July 1, 2007.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cost of Revenue



| |  |  | Cost of licenses revenue primarily consists of amortization of acquired developed technology and other intangible assets, software maintenance costs,
royalties and allocated outside sales representative expenses. Cost of licenses revenue decreased by 10% in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007. Amortization charges related to existing
intangible assets decreased in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007 due primarily to several acquired technology licenses which were fully amortized during the fiscal 2008 period. The
decreases were partially offset by increases in amortization charges related to newly acquired intangible assets and decreases in costs allocated to cost of bundled licenses and services revenue in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared
to the three months ended July 1, 2007.

| |  |  | Research and development expense increased by $1.5 million in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1,
2007. The increase was primarily due to increases in payroll related expenses of $1.8 million, consulting services for engineering projects of $0.5 million and common expenses, such as information technology and facilities related expenses, of $0.4
million. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in bonuses of $1.2 million in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007. The remainder of the fluctuation in research and development
expense was accounted for by other individually insignificant items. The increase in payroll related expenses was primarily due to increases in the number of employees and annual salary increases. At the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2009, the
number of our research and development employees increased 32% through direct hiring and acquisitions compared to the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2008.

| |  |  | Sales and marketing expense decreased by $0.1 million in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007. The
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in commissions of $0.9 million and bonuses of $0.6 million that were partially offset by an increase in payroll related expenses of $1.4 million. The remainder of the fluctuation in sales and marketing
expense was accounted for by other individually insignificant items. The increases in payroll related charges were primarily due to increases in the number of employees and annual salary increases. At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the
number of employees in sales and marketing increased by 4% compared to the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2008.

| |  |  | General and administrative expense decreased by $1.4 million in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1,
2007 primarily due to decreases of $0.7 million in total compensation related expenses resulting from lower salaries and bonuses, $0.5 million in depreciation expense, $0.4 million legal and $0.3 million in common expenses, such as information
technology and facilities related expenses. The decreases were partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in expenses related to new and expanded offices in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1,
2007. The remainder of the fluctuation in general and administrative expense was accounted for by other individually insignificant items.

| |  |  | Amortization of intangible assets decreased by 29% in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007
primarily due to several existing developed technologies and patents having been fully amortized during the fiscal 2008 period.

| |  |  | Interest income decreased in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007 primarily due to lower average
cash and investments balances resulting from our use of cash in operations, the acquisition of intangible assets and the payment of the balance of our outstanding 2008 Notes.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Interest expense decreased in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007 primarily due to reduced
indebtedness of $15.2 million resulting from the repayment of the 2008 Notes partially offset by revolving note borrowings of $13.0 million. The remainder of the fluctuation in interest expense was accounted for by other individually insignificant
items, such as amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2008 and 2010 Notes and interest expenses on capital leases.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Other expense, netdecreased in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007 primarily due to
decreased foreign exchange losses of $0.4 million and investment losses of $0.2 million in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007. The change in foreign exchange loss was primarily caused by
more favorable exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting in fiscal 2008, we
entered into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate exposure in movements between the U.S. dollar and Japanese Yen. The derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. We recognize the gain and loss on foreign currency forward contracts in the same period as the remeasurement loss and gain of the related foreign currency-denominated exposures. In the three months ended
August 3, 2008, net foreign exchange gain totaled $0.1 million and was included in Other Income (Expense), Net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.



| |  |  | Provision for income taxes decreased by approximately $1.2 million in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended
July 1, 2007. On a quarterly basis we calculate our income tax provision based on our current estimate of the annual effective tax rate. Generally, we apply the estimated annual effective tax rate to year to date pre-tax income or loss. We
adjust the provision for income taxes for the current quarter to reflect our current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and any discrete items of tax expense or benefit. Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended August 3,
2008 primarily reflects the current quarter provision using the estimated annual effective tax rate for the 2009 fiscal year and discrete items of net tax benefits of $0.3 million.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended August 3, 2008 and the three months ended July 1, 2007 consisted primarily of foreign
taxes provided for the income from business operations, FIN 48 tax liabilities and discrete items related to foreign taxes. Our effective tax rates vary from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to changes in our valuation allowance, state taxes,
foreign income taxed at other than U.S. rates, stock compensation expense, research and development credits and foreign withholding taxes. We are in a net deferred tax asset position, for which a full valuation allowance has been recorded. We will
continue to provide a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets until it becomes more than likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realizable. We will continue to evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax assets on a
quarterly basis.

operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation. The annual limitations may result in an increase to our current income tax provision and/or the expiration of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards
before realization.

Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, excluding restricted cash, were
approximately $29.7 million on August 3, 2008, a decrease of $20.3 million or 41% from April 6, 2008 and $15.0 million or 34% from May 4, 2008. The decrease primarily reflected cash used in operations, cash used for purchases of
intangible assets, strategic investments and the funding of restricted cash, and cash used for the repayment of $15.2 million of the 2008 Notes. These decreases were partially offset by $13.0 million of borrowings on our revolving note and net
proceeds of $338,000 from the issuance of common stock.

We hold our cash and cash equivalents in the United States and in foreign
accounts, primarily in the Japan, the Netherlands and India. As of August 3, 2008, we held an aggregate of $21.5 million in cash and cash equivalents in the United States and an aggregate of $8.1 million in foreign accounts.

Net cash used in operating activities

Net
cash used in operations decreased by $16.9 million in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007 primarily due to $18.5 million less in payments on accounts payable and accrued liabilities
balances and $2.6 million less in payments on prepaid and other assets. The decreases in cash flow were partially offset by a $3.3 million decrease in cash from customers and a $2.0 million increase in costs and expenses in the three months ended
August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007. The aggregated balance of accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $5.9 million and $24.5 million, respectively, in the three months ended August 3, 2008 and the three
months ended July 1, 2007. The decrease in accrued liabilities in the three months ended August 3, 2008 was primarily due to payments of annual employee bonuses. The decrease in accrued liabilities in the three months ended July 1, 2007
was primarily due to payments on the Synopsys litigation settlement, legal fees and annual employee bonuses. The decrease in cash from customers was primarily due to lower revenue and the increase in costs and expenses was primarily due to $1.5
million of restructuring expenditures in the three months ended August 3, 2008.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $5.6 million in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months
ended July 1, 2007. The increase was primarily due to a $7.1 million decrease in proceeds from maturities and sales of short-term investments, the $1.8 million increase in the purchase of strategic investment and a $1.1 million funding of
restricted cash. The increased use of cash in investing activities was partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease in purchases of property and equipment for cash as well as a $1.4 million decrease in purchases of short-term investments. We expect
to make capital expenditures of approximately $5.4 million during the remainder of fiscal 2009. These capital expenditures will be used to support selling, marketing and product development activities. We will use capital lease financing as well as
our cash and cash equivalents to fund these purchases. In addition, we may make earnout payments related to prior acquisitions and acquire additional technologies and strategic equity investments in the future using our cash and cash equivalents.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $10.9 million in the three months ended August 3, 2008 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to an $8.9
million decrease in cash received from the exercise of stock options and shares purchased under the employee stock purchase plan. In addition, we used $15.2 million to repay the remaining outstanding 2008 Notes in the first quarter of fiscal 2009
which was partially offset by $13.0 million of borrowings on our revolving note.

Capital resources

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to repay the current portion of the revolving notes of $4.7 million which is due in September 2008 and to meet our anticipated operating
and working capital expenditure requirements in the ordinary course of business for at least the next 12 months. If we require additional capital resources to grow our business internally or to acquire complementary technologies and businesses at
any time in the future, we may use cash or need to sell additional equity or debt securities. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities may result in more dilution to our existing stockholders. Financing arrangements may not be
available to us, or may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us.

In July 2007, the Company established a $10.0 million
unsecured revolving line of credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A (the credit facility). The credit facility is available through July 2010 and bears an interest rate equal to the banks prime rate less 1.20% or LIBOR plus
1.00% at managements election. The Company is required to make interest only payments monthly and the outstanding principal amount plus all accrued but unpaid interest is payable in full at the expiration of the credit facility.

On May 31, 2008 the credit facility was amended to temporarily increase the total amount available for borrowing to $15.0 million until
August 31, 2008, at which time the total amount available for borrowing reverts back to $10.0 million and any borrowings in excess of $10.0 million are due and payable.

The credit facility requires that the Company maintain certain financial conditions and pay fees of 0.075% per year on the unused amount of the
credit facility. As of August 3, 2008, the Company was not in compliance with the financial conditions and obtained a waiver for this noncompliance as well as an extension until September 30, 2008 of the increase in the total amount
available for borrowing under the credit facility. In addition, the credit facility allows letters of credit to be issued on behalf of the Company, provided that the aggregate outstanding amount of the letters of credit shall not exceed the total
amount available for borrowing under the credit facility. As of August 3, 2008, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $13.0 million under the credit facility and two letters of credit totaling $1.7 million outstanding leaving a borrowing
base availability of $0.3 million available under the credit facility. Since the credit facility is unsecured, the Company is not required to maintain restricted cash balances relating to the letters of credit under the facility.

Contractual obligations

As of August 3,
2008, our principal contractual obligations consisted of operating lease commitments, with an aggregate future amount of $16.0 million through fiscal 2013 for office facilities, repayments of the revolving notes of $4.7 million due
September 30, 2008 and $8.3 million due July 2010, repayment of the convertible notes of $49.9 million due in May 2010, capital lease obligations for computer equipment and purchase obligations. Although we have no material commitments for
capital expenditures, we anticipate incurring a comparable level of capital expenditures and leasing commitments to support our operations and infrastructure. In addition, we have other obligations for goods and services entered into in the normal
course of business. These obligations, however, either are not legally binding or are subject to change based on our business decisions.

Our acquisition agreements related to certain business combination and asset purchase transactions obligate us to pay certain contingent cash consideration based on meeting certain financial or project milestones and continued employment of
certain employees. The total amount of cash contingent consideration that could be paid under our acquisition agreements, assuming all contingencies are met, was $42.6 million as of August 3, 2008. These contingent consideration obligations are
not expected to affect our estimate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to repay the amounts due under the credit facility and to meet our anticipated operating and working capital expenditure requirements in the ordinary
course of business for at least the next 12 months.

Income taxes

As of August 3, 2008, our unrecognized tax benefits amounted to $12.2 million and were included in our long-term tax liabilities on our unaudited
condensed balance sheets. We are not able to estimate the amount or timing of any cash payments required to settle these liabilities, however we do not anticipate the settlement of the liabilities will require payment of cash within the next twelve
months and do not believe that the ultimate settlement of these obligations will materially affect our liquidity.

Off-balance Sheet
Arrangements

As of August 3, 2008, we did not have any significant off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in
Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Indemnification Obligations

We enter into standard license agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, we agree to indemnify our customers for losses
suffered or incurred by them as a result of any patent, copyright, or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our products. These indemnification obligations have perpetual terms. Our normal business
practice is to limit the maximum amount of indemnification to the amount received from the customer. On occasion, the maximum amount of indemnification we may be required to make may exceed our normal business practices. We estimate the fair value
of our indemnification obligations as insignificant, based on our historical experience concerning product and patent infringement claims. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for indemnification under these agreements as of August 3,
2008.

We have agreements whereby our officers and directors are indemnified for certain events or occurrences while the officer or
director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we retain directors and officers insurance that
reduces our exposure and enables us to recover portions of future amounts paid. As a result of our insurance coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded
for these agreements as of August 3, 2008.

In connection with certain of our recent business acquisitions, we have also agreed to
assume, or cause our subsidiaries to assume, the indemnification obligations of those companies to their respective officers and directors. No liabilities have been recorded for these agreements as of August 3, 2008.

Warranties

We warrant to our
customers that our products will conform to the documentation provided. To date, there have been no payments or material costs incurred related to fulfilling these warranty obligations. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these
warranties as of August 3, 2008. We assess the need for a warranty accrual on a quarterly basis, and there can be no guarantee that a warranty accrual will not become necessary in the future.

|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio.
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. This is accomplished by investing in widely diversified short-term and long-term investments, consisting
primarily of investment grade securities. As of August 3, 2008, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would not result in material impact on the fair value of our cash equivalents and short-term investments.

The fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt is sensitive to interest rate changes. Interest rate changes would result in increases or decreases in
the fair value of our debt, due to differences between market interest rates and rates in effect at the inception of our debt obligation. Changes in the fair value of our fixed rate debt have no impact on our cash flows or consolidated financial
statements.

Credit Risk

Starting with
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the $18.4 million auction rate securities we held failed at auction and have continued to fail at auction due to sell orders exceeding buy orders. As of August 3, 2008, we have written down our auction rate
securities from their par value of approximately $18.4 million to the estimated fair value of approximately $17.5 million. The $0.9 million decline in market value was deemed temporary as we believe that these investments generally are of high
credit quality, as substantially all of the investments carry an AAA credit rating and are secured by pools of student loans guaranteed by state regulated higher education agencies and reinsured by the U.S. Department of Education. In addition, we
have the intent and ability to hold these investments until anticipated recovery in market value occurs. Accordingly, we have recorded an unrealized loss on these securities of $0.9 million in other comprehensive loss as a reduction in
stockholders equity. The funds invested in auction rate securities that have experienced failed auctions will not be accessible until a successful auction occurs, a buyer is found outside of the auction process or the underlying securities
have matured or are redeemed by the issuer prior to maturity. Based on our ability to access our cash, cash equivalents and other short-term investments, our expected operating cash flows, and our other sources of cash, we do not anticipate the
current lack of liquidity on these investments to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Foreign Currency Exchange
Rate Risk

A majority of our revenue, expense, and capital purchasing activities are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, we transact
some portions of our business in various foreign currencies, primarily related to a portion of revenue in Japan and operating expenses in Europe, Japan and Asia-Pacific. Accordingly, we are subject to exposure from adverse movements in foreign
currency exchange rates. As of August 3, 2008, we had approximately $3.7 million of cash and money market funds in foreign currencies. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate
exposure in movements between the U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen. The derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. We recognize the
gain and loss on foreign currency forward contracts in the same period as the remeasurement loss and gain of the related foreign currency-denominated exposures. In the three months ended August 3, 2008, net foreign exchange loss totaled $0.1
million and was included in Other Income (Expense), Net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the
time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control or to our knowledge, in
other factors that could significantly affect our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER
INFORMATION



|ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------- | -----------------

We are subject to certain legal
proceedings described below and from time to time, we are also involved in other disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. The number and significance of these litigation proceedings and disputes may increase as our business expands
and we grow larger. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. As a
result, these litigation proceedings and disputes could harm our business and have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. However, the results of any litigation or dispute are inherently uncertain and, at this time, no
estimate could be made of the loss or range of loss, if any, from such litigation matters and disputes unless they are or are close to being settled. Liabilities are recorded when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Accordingly, as of April 6, 2008, we recorded a liability of $1.1 million to cover legal settlement exposure related to the shareholder class action lawsuit and the derivative complaint, as described below, and have not recorded any liabilities
related to other contingencies. In accordance with the proposed settlement agreement, we deposited into escrow $1.0 million in June 2008, which $1.0 million has been classified as a reduction of the previously recorded liability. However, any
estimates of losses or any such recording of legal settlement exposure is not assurance that there will be any court approval of any settlement, and there is no assurance that there will be any final, court approved settlement. Litigation settlement
and legal fees are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

On June 13, 2005, a putative shareholder class action lawsuit
captionedThe Cornelia I. Crowell GST Trust vs. Magma Design Automation, Inc., Rajeev Madhavan, Gregory C. Walker and Roy E. Jewell., No. C 05 02394, was filed in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California. The complaint alleges
that defendants failed to disclose information regarding the risk of Magma infringing intellectual property rights of Synopsys, Inc., in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and prays for
unspecified damages. In March 2006, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. Plaintiff filed a further amended complaint in June 2006, which defendants again moved to dismiss. Defendants motion was granted in
part and denied in part by an order dated August 18, 2006, which dismissed claims against two of the individual defendants. On November 30, 2007, the parties agreed to a settlement. The court granted preliminary approval to the settlement
on July 7, 2008, and scheduled a hearing for final approval of the settlement for November 21, 2008. There is no assurance that the court will grant final approval of the settlement.

On July 26, 2005, a putative derivative complaint captionedSusan Willis v. Magma Design Automation, Inc. et al., No. 1-05-CV-045834,
was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Santa Clara. The Complaint seeks unspecified damages purportedly on behalf of us for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by various directors and officers, as well as for
alleged violations of insider trading laws by executives during a period between October 23, 2002 and April 12, 2005. Defendants have demurred to the Complaint, and the action has been stayed pending further developments in the putative
shareholder class action referenced above. On January 8, 2008, the parties reached an agreement in principle with respect to certain aspects of settlement of the case and agreed upon the remaining terms of the settlement on February 21,
2008. The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on August 4, 2008, and scheduled a hearing for final approval of the settlement for October 3, 2008. There is no assurance that the court will grant final approval of the
settlement.

|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

A restated description of the risk
factors associated with our business is set forth below. This description includes any material changes to and supersedes the description of the risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 6, 2008.

Our business faces many risks. The risks described below may not
be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risk factors actually occur,
our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our common stock could decline.

Our limited
operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects.

We were incorporated in April 1997. We have a limited
history of generating revenue from our software products, and the revenue and income potential of our business and market is still unproven. As a result of our relatively short operating history, we have limited financial data that can be used to
evaluate our business. We have only been profitable in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004. Our software products represent a new approach to the challenges presented in the electronic design automation market, which to date has been dominated by
established companies with longer operating histories. Key markets within the electronic design automation industry may fail to adopt our proprietary technologies and use our software products. Any evaluation of our business and our prospects must
be considered in light of our limited operating history and the risks and uncertainties often encountered by relatively young companies.

We have a
history of losses, except for fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $260.7 million as of August 3, 2008. If we continue to incur losses, the trading price of our stock would likely decline.

We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $260.7 million as of August 3, 2008. Except for fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004, we incurred losses in
all other fiscal years. If we continue to incur losses, or if we fail to achieve profitability at levels expected by securities analysts or investors, the market price of our common stock is likely to decline. If we continue to incur losses, we may
not be able to maintain or increase our number of employees or our investment in capital equipment, sales, marketing, and research and development programs. Further, we may not be able to continue to operate.

Our quarterly results are difficult to predict, and if we fail to reach certain quarterly financial expectations, our stock price is likely to decline.

Our quarterly revenue and operating results fluctuate from quarter to quarter and are difficult to predict. It is likely that our
operating results in some periods will be below investor expectations. If this happens, the market price of our common stock is likely to decline. Fluctuations in our future quarterly operating results may be caused by many factors, including:



| |  |  | size and timing of customer orders, which are received unevenly and unpredictably throughout a fiscal year;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the mix of products licensed and types of license agreements;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to recognize revenue in a given quarter;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | higher-than-anticipated costs in connection with litigation;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | timing of customer license payments;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | the relative mix of time-based licenses bundled with maintenance, unbundled time-based license agreements and perpetual license agreements, each of which has
different revenue recognition practices;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | size and timing of revenue recognized in advance of actual customer billings and customers with graduated payment schedules which may result in higher accounts
receivable balances and days sales outstanding (DSO);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the relative mix of our license and services revenue;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to win new customers and retain existing customers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in our pricing and discounting practices and licensing terms and those of our competitors;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have faced lawsuits related to patent infringement and other claims, and we may face additional intellectual property infringement claims or other litigation.
Lawsuits can be costly to defend, can take the time of our management and employees away from day-to-day operations, and could result in our losing important rights and paying significant damages.

We have faced lawsuits related to patent infringement and other claims in the past. For example, Synopsys previously filed various suits, including an
action for patent infringement, against us. In addition, a putative shareholder class action lawsuit and a putative derivative lawsuit have been filed against us. All claims brought against us by Synopsys have been fully resolved by a settlement and
a license under the asserted patents, although other similar litigation involving Synopsys or other parties may follow (subject, in the case of Synopsys, to the terms of the settlement agreement with Synopsys pursuant to which we and Synopsys agreed
not to initiate future patent litigation against each other for a period of two years commencing on March 29, 2007 provided certain terms are met). In the future other parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us or
our customers. We may have acquired or may in the future acquire software as a result of our acquisitions, and we could be subject to claims that such software infringes the intellectual property rights of third parties. We also license technology
from certain third parties and could be subject to claims if the software which we license is deemed to infringe the rights of others. In addition, we are often involved in or threatened with commercial litigation unrelated to intellectual property
infringement claims such as labor litigation and contract claims, and we may acquire companies that are actively engaged in such litigation.

Our products may be found to infringe intellectual property rights of third parties, including third-party patents. In addition, many of our contracts contain provisions in which we agree to indemnify our customers from third-party
intellectual property infringement claims that are brought against them based on their use of our products. Also, we may be unaware of filed patent applications that relate to our software products. We believe that the patent portfolios of our
competitors generally are far larger than ours. This disparity between our patent portfolio and the patent portfolios of our competitors may increase the risk that they may sue us for patent infringement and may limit our ability to counterclaim for
patent infringement or settle through patent cross-licenses.

The outcome of intellectual property litigation and other types of litigation
could result in our loss of critical proprietary rights and unexpected operating costs and substantial monetary damages. Intellectual property litigation and other types of litigation are expensive and time-consuming and could divert our
managements attention from our business. If there is a successful claim against us for infringement, we may be ordered to pay substantial monetary damages (including punitive damages), we may also be prevented from distributing all or some of
our products, and we may also be required to develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or license agreements, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Our failure to develop non-infringing technologies or license the
proprietary rights on a timely basis could harm our business.

Publicly announced developments in our litigation matters may cause our
stock price to decline sharply and suddenly. Other factors may reduce the market price of our common stock, and we are subject to ongoing risks of securities class action litigation related to volatility in the market price for our common stock.

We may not be successful in defending some or all claims that may be brought against us. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can result
in substantial expense and could divert the efforts of our management and technical personnel from our business. In addition, the ultimate resolution of the lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows, and harm our ability to execute our business plan.

The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, which may make
it difficult for our stockholders to resell our stock at attractive prices.

Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Market under
the symbol LAVA. There have been previous quarters in which we have experienced shortfalls in revenue and earnings from levels expected by securities analysts and investors, which have had an immediate and significant adverse effect on
the trading price of our common stock. Furthermore, the price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly in recent periods.

The
market price of our stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to the risk factors set forth in this Item 1A, many of which are beyond our control. Such fluctuations, as well as economic conditions generally, may adversely affect
the market price of our common stock.

In addition, the stock market in recent years has experienced extreme price and trading volume
fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. Recent
problems with the financial system, such as problems involving banks as well as the mortgage markets, might increase such market fluctuations.

We may
not be able to hire and/or retain the number of qualified personnel required for our business, particularly engineering personnel, which would harm the development and sales of our products and limit our ability to grow.

Competition in our industry for senior management, technical, sales, marketing and other key personnel is intense. If we are unable to retain our existing
personnel, or attract and train additional qualified personnel, our growth may be limited due to a lack of capacity to develop and market our products.

In particular, we continue to experience difficulty in hiring and retaining skilled engineers with appropriate qualifications to support our growth strategy. Our success depends on our ability to identify, hire, train
and retain qualified engineering personnel with experience in integrated circuit design. Specifically, we need to continue to attract and retain field application engineers to work with our direct sales force to qualify new sales opportunities
technically and perform design work to demonstrate our products capabilities to customers during the benchmark evaluation process. Competition for qualified engineers is intense, particularly in the Silicon Valley area where our headquarters
are located.

Furthermore, in light of our adopting SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment in the first quarter of our fiscal year
2007, we changed our employee compensation practices, and those changes could make it harder for us to retain existing employees and attract qualified candidates. If we lose the services of a significant number of our employees and/or if we cannot
hire additional employees of the same caliber, we will be unable to increase our sales or implement or maintain our growth strategy.

Our success is
highly dependent on the technical, sales, marketing and managerial contributions of key individuals who we may be unable to recruit and retain.

We depend on our senior executives and certain key research and development and sales and marketing personnel, who are critical to our business. We do not have long-term employment agreements with our key employees, and we do not maintain
any key person life insurance policies. Furthermore, our larger competitors may be able to offer more generous compensation packages to executives and key employees, and therefore we risk losing key personnel to those competitors. If we lose the
services of any of our key personnel, our product development processes and sales efforts could be slowed. We may also incur increased operating expenses and be required to divert the attention of our senior executives to search for their
replacements. The integration of new executives or new personnel could disrupt our ongoing operations.

Customer payment defaults may cause us to be
unable to recognize revenue from backlog, and changes in the type of orders comprising backlog could affect the proportion of revenue recognized from backlog each quarter, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.

A portion of our revenue backlog is variable based on volume of usage of our products by the customers or
includes specific future deliverables or is recognized in revenue on a cash receipts basis. Our management has estimated variable usage based on customers forecasts, but there can be no assurance that these estimates will be realized. In
addition, it is possible that customers from whom we expect to derive revenue from backlog will default and as a result we may not be able to recognize expected revenue from backlog. If a customer defaults and fails to pay amounts owed, or if the
level of defaults increases, our bad debt expense is likely to increase. Any material payment default by our customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our lengthy and unpredictable sales cycle and the large size of some orders make it difficult for us to forecast revenue and increase the magnitude of quarterly
fluctuations, which could harm our stock price.

Customers for our software products typically commit significant resources to evaluate
available software. The complexity of our products requires us to spend substantial time and effort to assist potential customers in evaluating our software and in benchmarking our products against those of our competitors. As the complexity of the
products we sell increases, we expect our sales cycle to lengthen. In addition, potential customers may be limited in their current spending by existing time-based licenses with their legacy vendors. In these cases, customers delay a significant new
commitment to our software until the term of the existing license has expired. Also, because our products require our customers to invest significant time and incur significant costs, we must target those individuals within our customers
organizations who are able to make these decisions on behalf of their companies. These individuals tend to be senior management in an organization, typically at the vice president level. We may face difficulty identifying and

establishing contact with such individuals. Even after those individuals decide to purchase our products, the negotiation and documentation processes can be
lengthy and could lead the decision-maker to reconsider the purchase. Our sales cycle typically ranges between three and nine months but can be longer. Any delay in completing sales in a particular quarter could cause our operating results to fall
below expectations. Furthermore, technological changes, litigation risk or other competitive factors could cause some customers to shorten the terms of their licenses significantly, and such shorter terms could in turn have an impact on our total
results for orders for this fiscal year. In addition, the precise mix of orders is subject to substantial fluctuation in any given quarter or multiple quarter periods, and the actual mix of licenses sold affects the revenue we recognize in the
period. Even if we achieve the target level of total orders, we may not meet our revenue targets if we are unable to achieve our target license mix. In particular, we may fall short of our revenue targets if we deliver more long-term or ratable
licenses than expected, or we may exceed our revenue targets if we deliver more short-term licenses than expected.

We may be unable to make payments to
satisfy our indemnification obligations.

We enter into standard license agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to
these agreements, we agree to indemnify certain of our customers for losses suffered or incurred by them as a result of any patent, copyright, or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our products. These
indemnification obligations have perpetual terms. Our normal business practice is to limit the maximum amount of indemnification to the amount received from the customer. On occasion, the maximum amount of indemnification we may be required to make
may exceed our normal business practices. We estimate that the fair value of our indemnification obligations is insignificant, based upon our historical experience concerning product and patent infringement claims. Accordingly, we have no
liabilities recorded for indemnification under these agreements. If an indemnification event were to occur, we might not have enough funds to pay our indemnification obligations. Further, any material indemnification payment could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and the results of our operations.

We have entered into certain indemnification agreements
whereby certain of our officers and directors are indemnified for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. Additionally, in connection with certain of our recent business
acquisitions, we agreed to assume, or cause our subsidiaries to assume, indemnification obligations to the officers and directors of the acquired companies. While we have directors and officers insurance that reduces our exposure and enables us to
recover a portion of any future amounts paid pursuant to our indemnification obligations to our officers and directors, the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited.
However, as a result of our directors and officers insurance coverage and our belief that our estimated potential exposure to our officers and directors for indemnification liabilities is minimal, no liabilities have been recorded for these
agreements as of August 3, 2008. Therefore, if an indemnification event were to occur, we might not have enough funds to pay our indemnification obligations. Further, any material indemnification payment could have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition and the results of our operations.

We rely on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and our
revenue could decline due to delays of customer orders or the failure of existing customers to renew licenses or if we are unable to maintain or develop relationships with current or potential customers.

Our business depends on sales to a small number of customers. For the first quarter of fiscal 2009, our top customer accounted for approximately 22% of
our revenue.

We expect that we will continue to depend upon a relatively small number of customers for a substantial portion of our
revenue for the foreseeable future. If we fail to sell sufficient quantities of our products and services to one or more customers in any particular period, or if a large customer reduces purchases of our products or services, defers orders, or
fails to renew licenses, our business and operating results could be harmed.

Most of our customers license our software under time-based
licensing agreements, with terms that typically range from 15 months to 48 months. Most of our license agreements automatically expire at the end of the term unless the customer renews the license with us or purchases a perpetual license. If our
customers do not renew their licenses, we may not be able to maintain our current revenue or may not generate additional revenue. Some of our license agreements allow customers to terminate an agreement prior to its expiration under limited
circumstancesfor example, if our products do not meet specified performance requirements or goals. If these agreements are terminated prior to expiration or we are unable to collect under these agreements, our revenue may decline.

Some contracts with extended payment terms provide for payments which are weighted toward the latter part of the contract term. Accordingly, for
bundled agreements, as the payment terms are extended, the revenue from these contracts is not recognized evenly over the contract term, but is recognized as the lesser of the cumulative amounts due and payable or ratably. For unbundled agreements,
as the payment terms are extended, the revenue from these contracts is recognized as amounts become due and payable. Revenue recognized under these arrangements will be higher in the latter part of the contract term, which potentially puts our
future revenue recognition at greater risk of the customers continued credit-worthiness. In addition, some of our customers have extended payment terms, which creates additional credit risk.

We compete against companies that hold a large share of the EDA market and competition is increasing among EDA vendors
as customers tightly control their EDA spending and use fewer vendors to meet their needs. If we cannot compete successfully, we will not gain market share and our revenue could decline.

We currently compete with companies that hold dominant shares in the electronic design automation market, such as Cadence, Synopsys and Mentor. Each of
these companies has a longer operating history and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do, as well as greater name recognition and a larger installed customer base. Our competitors are better able to offer
aggressive discounts on their products, a practice they often employ. Competition and corresponding pricing pressures among EDA vendors or other factors might be causing or might cause in the future the overall market for EDA products to have low
growth rates, remain relatively flat or even decrease in terms of overall dollars. Our competitors offer a more comprehensive range of products than we do; for example, we do not offer logic simulation which can sometimes be an impediment to our
winning a particular customer order. In addition, our industry has traditionally viewed acquisitions as an effective strategy for growth in products and market share and our competitors greater cash resources and higher market capitalization
may give them a relative advantage over us in acquiring companies with promising new chip design products or companies that may be too large for us to acquire without a strain on our resources and liquidity.

Competition in the EDA market has increased as customers rationalized their EDA spending by using products from fewer EDA vendors. Continued
consolidation in the electronic design automation market could intensify this trend. Also, many of our competitors, such as Cadence, Synopsys and Mentor, have established relationships with our current and potential customers and can devote
substantial resources aimed at preventing us from establishing or enhancing our customer relationships. Competitive pressures may prevent us from obtaining new customers and gaining market share, may require us to reduce the price of products and
services or cause us to lose existing customers, which could harm our business. To execute our business strategy successfully, we must continue our efforts to increase our sales worldwide. If we fail to do so in a timely manner or at all, we may not
be able to gain market share and our business and operating results could suffer.

Also, a variety of small companies continue to emerge,
developing and introducing new products which may compete with our products. Any of these companies could become a significant competitor in the future. We also compete with the internal chip design automation development groups of our existing and
potential customers. Therefore, these customers may not require, or may be reluctant to purchase, products offered by independent vendors.

Our competitors may develop or acquire new products or technologies that have the potential to replace our existing or new product offerings. The introduction of these new or additional products by competitors may either cause potential
customers to defer purchases of our products or cause potential customers to decide against purchasing our products. If we fail to compete successfully, we will not gain market share, or our market share may decrease, and our business may fail.

Acquisitions are an important element of our strategy. We may not find suitable acquisition candidates and we may not be successful in integrating the
operations of acquired companies and acquired technology.

Part of our growth strategy is to pursue acquisitions. We expect to
continuously evaluate the possibility of accelerating our growth through acquisitions, as is customary in the electronic design automation industry. Achieving the anticipated benefits of past and possible future acquisitions will depend in part upon
whether we can integrate the operations, products and technology of acquired companies with our operations, products and technology in a timely and cost-effective manner. The process of integrating acquired companies and acquired technology is
complex, expensive and time consuming, and may cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the product development and sales activities and operations of both companies. In addition, the earnout arrangements we use, and expect to continue to
use, to consummate some of our acquisitions, pursuant to which we agreed to pay additional amounts of contingent consideration based on the achievement of certain revenue, bookings or product development milestones, can sometimes complicate
integration efforts. We cannot be sure that we will find suitable acquisition candidates or that acquisitions we complete will be successful. Assimilating previously acquired companies such as Sabio Labs, Inc. (Sabio), Rio Design
Automation, Inc. (Rio), Knights Technology, Inc. (Knights), ACAD Corporation (ACAD), Mojave, Silicon Metrics Corporation, or any other companies we have acquired or may seek to acquire in the future, involves a
number of other risks, including, but not limited to:



| |  |  | adverse effects on existing customer relationships, such as cancellation of orders or the loss of key customers;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adverse effects on existing licensor or supplier relationships, such as termination of certain license agreements;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in integrating or retaining key employees of the acquired company;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that earnouts based on revenue will prove difficult to administer due to the complexities of revenue recognition accounting;

data;

Our operating results may be harmed if our customers do not adopt, or are slow to adopt, 65-nanometer and smaller design geometries on a large scale.

Our customers are currently working on a range of design geometries, including without limitation 45-nanometer, 65-nanometer and 90-nanometer designs. We
continue to work toward developing and enhancing our product line in anticipation of increased customer demand for 65-nanometer and other smaller design geometries. Notwithstanding our efforts to support 65-nanometer and other smaller design
geometries, customers may fail to adopt these geometries on a large scale and we may be unable to persuade our customers to purchase our related software products. Accordingly, any revenues we receive from enhancements to our products or acquired
technologies may be less than the development or acquisition costs. If customers fail to adopt 65-nanometer and other smaller design geometries on a large scale, our operating results may be harmed. In addition, if customers are not able
successfully to generate profits as they adopt smaller geometries, demand for our products may be adversely affected, and our operating results may be harmed.

Our operating results will be harmed if chip designers do not adopt or continue to use Blast Fusion, Talus, FineSim, the Quartz family of products, Titan or our other current and future products.

Blast Fusion has accounted for the largest portion of our revenue since our inception and we believe that revenue from Blast Fusion, Talus, FineSim, the
Quartz family of products and Titan will account for most of our revenue for the foreseeable future. To the extent that our customer base discontinues use of Blast Fusion and does not upgrade to our Talus products, our operating results may be
significantly harmed. In addition, we have dedicated significant resources to developing and marketing Talus, Titan and other products. We must gain market penetration of Talus, FineSim, the Quartz family of products, Titan and other products in
order to achieve our growth strategy and financial success. Moreover, if integrated circuit designers do not continue to adopt or use Blast Fusion, Talus, FineSim, the Quartz family of products, Titan or our other current and future products, our
operating results will be significantly harmed.

In the event that the changes we made to our organizational structure in fiscal 2006 and in fiscal 2008
result in ineffective interoperability between our products or ineffective collaboration among our employees, then our operating results may be harmed.

We changed our organizational structure in fiscal 2006 to establish major business units that are responsible for our various products, and we made some additional changes to our organizational structure in fiscal
2008. If this organizational structure results in ineffective interoperability between our products or ineffective collaboration among our employees, then our operating results may be harmed. For example, if this organizational structure is not
successful, we could experience delays in new product development that could cause us to lose customer orders and thereby could harm our operating results.

If the industries into which we sell our products experience a recession or other cyclical effects affecting our customers research and development budgets, our revenue would be likely to decline.

Demand for our products is driven by new integrated circuit design projects. The demand from semiconductor and systems companies is uncertain and
difficult to predict. Slower growth in the semiconductor and systems industries, a reduced number of design starts, reduction of electronic design automation budgets or consolidation among our customers would harm our business and financial
condition.

The primary customers for our products are companies in the communications, computing, consumer
electronics, networking and semiconductor industries. Any significant downturn in our customers markets or in general economic conditions that results in the cutback of research and development budgets or the delay of software purchases would
likely result in lower demand for our products and services and could harm our business. The continuing threat of terrorist attacks in the United States, the ongoing events in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, the Middle East, North Korea and other parts of
the world, recent problems with the financial system, such as problems involving banks as well as the mortgage markets, global climate change and other worldwide events have increased uncertainty in the United States economy. If the economy declines
as a result of this economic, political, social and environmental turmoil, existing customers may delay their implementation of our software products and prospective customers may decide not to adopt our software products, either of which could
negatively impact our business and operating results.

The electronics industry has historically been subject to seasonal and cyclical
fluctuations in demand for its products, and this trend may continue in the future. These industry downturns have been and may continue to be characterized by diminished product demand, excess manufacturing capacity and subsequent erosion of average
selling prices. Any such seasonal or cyclical industry downturns could harm our operating results.

Difficulties in developing and achieving market
acceptance of new products and delays in planned release dates of our software products and upgrades may harm our business.

To succeed,
we will need to develop innovative new products. We may not have the financial resources necessary to fund all required future innovations. Expanding into new technologies or extending our product line into areas we have not previously addressed may
be more costly or difficult than we presently anticipate. Also, any revenue that we receive from enhancements or new generations of our proprietary software products may be less than the costs that we incur to develop those technologies and
products. If we fail to develop and market new products in a timely manner, or if new products do not meet performance features as marketed, our reputation and our business could suffer.

Our costs of customer engagement and support are high, so our gross margin may decrease if we incur higher-than-expected costs associated with providing support services in the future or if we reduce our prices.

Because of the complexity of our products, we typically incur high field application engineering support costs to engage new customers
and assist them in their evaluations of our products. If we fail to manage our customer engagement and support costs, our operating results could suffer. In addition, our gross margin may decrease if we are unable to manage support costs associated
with the services revenue we generate or if we reduce prices in response to competitive pressure.

Product defects could cause us to lose customers and
revenue, or to incur unexpected expenses.

Our products depend on complex software, which we either developed internally or acquired or
licensed from third parties. Our customers may use our products with other companies products, which also contain complex software. If our software does not meet our customers performance requirements or meet the performance features as
marketed, our customer relationships may suffer. Also, a limited number of our contracts include specified ongoing performance criteria. If our products fail to meet these criteria, it may lead to termination of these agreements and loss of future
revenue. Complex software often contains errors. Any failure or poor performance of our software or the third-party software with which it is integrated could result in:



| |  |  | delayed market acceptance of our software products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | delays in product shipments;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | unexpected expenses and diversion of resources to identify the source of errors or to correct errors;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | damage to our reputation;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | delayed or lost revenue; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | product liability claims.
| | - |  | -------------------------

Our
product functions are often critical to our customers, especially because of the resources our customers expend on the design and fabrication of integrated circuits. Many of our licensing agreements contain provisions to provide a limited warranty.
In addition, some of our licensing agreements provide the customer with a right of refund for the license fees if we are unable to correct errors reported during the warranty period. If our contractual limitations are unenforceable in a particular
jurisdiction or if we are exposed to claims that are not covered by insurance, a successful claim could harm our business. We currently carry insurance coverage and limits that we believe are consistent with similarly situated companies within the
EDA industry, however, our insurance coverage may prove insufficient to protect against any claims that we experience.

Because much of our business is international, we are exposed to risks inherent to doing business internationally that
could harm our business. We also intend to expand our international operations. If our revenue from this expansion does not exceed the expenses associated with this expansion, our business and operating results could suffer.

In fiscal 2008, we generated 40% of our total revenue from sales outside North America, compared to 32% in fiscal 2007 and 33% in fiscal 2006. While most
of our international sales to date have been denominated in U.S. dollars, our international operating expenses have been denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, a decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currencies
could increase the relative costs of our overseas operations, which could reduce our operating margins.

As we expand our international
operations, we will need to maintain sales offices in Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific region. If our revenue from international operations does not exceed the expense of establishing and maintaining our international operations, our
business could suffer. Additional risks we face in conducting business internationally include:



| |  |  | difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations across different geographic areas;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in currency exchange rates and controls;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | uncertainty regarding tax and regulatory requirements in multiple jurisdictions;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the possible lack of financial and political stability in foreign countries, preventing overseas sales growth;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | current events in North Korea, Iran, Iraq, the Middle East, and other parts of the world;

Future changes in accounting standards, specifically changes affecting revenue recognition, could cause unexpected adverse revenue fluctuations for us.

Future changes in accounting standards or interpretations thereof, specifically those changes affecting software revenue recognition, could require us to change our methods of revenue recognition. These changes could
result in deferral of revenue recognized in current periods to subsequent periods or in accelerated recognition of deferred revenue to current periods, each of which could cause shortfalls in meeting the expectations of investors and securities
analysts. Our stock price could decline as a result of any shortfall. Implementation of internal controls reporting and attestation requirements, as further described below, will continue to impose additional financial and administrative obligations
on us and may continue to cause us to incur substantial implementation costs from third party consultants, which could adversely affect our results.

We
have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs as a result of being a public company.

As a public company, we incur
significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nasdaq Stock Market, required changes in the corporate
governance practices of public companies, which increased our legal and financial compliance costs. In particular, we have incurred and will continue to incur administrative expenses relating to compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, which requires that we implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls and annual certification of our compliance by our independent auditor. In addition, we incur other costs associated with our public company reporting
requirements.

We are required to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and
any adverse results from such evaluation could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on our stock price.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Section 404), we are required to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm is to attest to, the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting. Our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by
management. We have an ongoing program to perform the system and process evaluation and testing necessary to comply with these requirements. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. If we cannot provide
reliable financial reports, there could be an adverse reaction in the financial marketplace due to a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which ultimately could negatively impact our stock price.

##### Table of Contents

In addition, we must continue to monitor and assess our internal control over financial reporting
because a failure to comply with Section 404 could cause us to delay filing our public reports, potentially resulting in de-listing by the Nasdaq Stock Market and penalties or other adverse consequences under our existing contractual
arrangements. In particular, pursuant to the indenture for the 2% Convertible Senior Notes due May 15, 2010 (the 2010 Notes), if we fail to file our annual or quarterly reports in accordance with the terms of that indenture, or if
we do not comply with certain provisions of the Trust Indenture Act specified in the indenture, after the passage of certain periods of time at the election of a certain minimum number of holders of the 2010 Notes, we may be in default under the
indenture unless we pay a fee equal to 1% per annum of the aggregate principal amounts of the 2010 Notes, or the extension fee, to extend the default date. Even if we pay the applicable extension fee, we will eventually be in default for these
filing failures if sufficient time passes and we have not made the applicable filing.

The effectiveness of disclosure controls is inherently limited.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures, or our internal control over financial reporting, will prevent all errors
and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system objectives will be met. The design of a control system must also reflect applicable resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. As a result of these inherent limitations, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within
our company have been detected. Failure of the control systems to prevent error or fraud could materially adversely impact our financial results and our business.

Forecasting our tax rates is complex and subject to uncertainty.

Our management must make significant
assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine our current provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance that may be recorded against our deferred tax assets. These assumptions, judgments and
estimates are difficult to make due to their complexity, and the relevant tax law is often changing.

Our future effective tax rates could
be adversely affected by the following:

an increase in expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes, including stock-based
compensation and write-offs of acquired in-process research and development;



| |  |  | changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | future changes in ownership that may limit realization of certain assets;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in forecasts of pre-tax profits and losses by jurisdiction used to estimate tax expense by jurisdiction;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | assessment of additional taxes as a result of federal, state, or foreign tax examinations; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in tax laws or interpretations of such tax laws.

Our success will depend on our ability to keep pace with the rapidly evolving technology standards of the semiconductor industry. If we are unable to keep pace with these evolving technology standards, our products could be rendered
obsolete, which would cause our operating results to decline.

The semiconductor industry has made significant technological advances.
In particular, recent advances in deep sub-micron technology have required electronic design automation companies to develop or acquire new products and enhance existing products continuously. The evolving nature of our industry could render our
existing products and services obsolete. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to:



| |  |  | enhance our existing products and services;

If we are unable, for technical, legal, financial or other reasons, to respond in a timely manner to changing market conditions or customer requirements,
our business and operating results could be seriously harmed.

If we fail to offer and maintain competitive equity compensation packages for our
employees, or if our stock price declines materially for a protracted period of time, we might have difficulty retaining our employees and our business may be harmed.

In todays competitive technology industry, employment decisions of highly skilled personnel are influenced by equity compensation packages, which offer incentives above traditional compensation only where there
is a consistent, long-term upward trend over time of a companys stock price. Our stock price declined significantly for several years due to market conditions and had recently been negatively affected by uncertainty surrounding the outcome of
our litigation with Synopsys, Inc. discussed above. In addition, our stock price has declined significantly in light of our financial results for fiscal year 2008 (including our backlog as of April 6, 2008, which backlog is described in
Item 1 of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended April 6, 2008 as well as our outlook for fiscal year 2009 and in light of our financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.

As a result, many of our outstanding stock options have exercise prices per share that are currently below the trading price per share of our common
stock. Therefore, we may be forced to grant additional options to retain employees. This in turn could result in:

| |  |  | compensation charges against us, which would negatively impact our operating results.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the new accounting requirements for employee stock options discussed below has adversely affected our option grant practices and may affect
our ability to recruit and retain employees.

Due to changes in the accounting treatment for employee stock options, we have changed our employee
compensation practices, and our reported results of operations have been and will likely continue to be adversely affected.

Until
April 2, 2006, we accounted for the issuance of employee stock options under principles that did not require us to record compensation expense for options granted at fair market value. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R,
Share-Based Payment, which eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25, and generally requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value based method. Under SFAS 123R,
companies are required to recognize an expense for compensation cost related to share-based payment arrangements including stock options and employee stock purchase plans. We adopted the new rules in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2007. This
change in accounting treatment has resulted and will continue to result in significant additional compensation expense compared to prior periods and has adversely affected and will likely continue to adversely affect our reported results of
operations and hinder our ability to achieve profitability. We are continuing to assess the full impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R on our business practices and, as part of that assessment, have changed our employee compensation practices by, for
example, issuing more restricted stock and fewer stock options. These changes could make it harder for us to retain existing employees and attract qualified candidates.

If our sales force compensation arrangements are not designed effectively, we may lose sales personnel and resources.

Designing an effective incentive compensation structure for our sales force is critical to our success. We have experimented, and continue to experiment, with different systems of sales force compensation. If our
incentives are not well designed, we may experience reduced revenue generation, and we may also lose the services of our more productive sales personnel, either of which would reduce our revenue or potential revenue.

Fluctuations in our growth place a strain on our management systems and resources, and if we fail to manage the pace of our growth, our business could be harmed.

Periods of growth followed by efforts to realign costs when revenue growth is slower than anticipated have placed a strain on our
management, administrative and financial resources. Over time we have significantly expanded our operations in the United States and internationally, and we plan to continue to expand the geographic scope of our operations. However, in the first
quarter of fiscal

2008, we decreased our workforce by 21 employees; and in May 2008, we initiated a restructuring plan for which we have incurred restructuring charges of just
over $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 primarily for employee termination costs. In addition, it is possible that we will continue to restructure our company and to incur additional associated expenses for the remainder of fiscal year
2009. To pace the growth of our operations with the growth in our revenue, we must continue to improve administrative, financial and operations systems, procedures and controls. Failure to improve our internal procedures and controls could hinder
our efforts to manage our growth adequately, disrupt operations, lead to expenses associated with restructurings, lead to deficiencies in our internal controls and financial reporting and otherwise harm our business.

If chip designers and manufacturers do not integrate our software into existing design flows, or if other software companies do not cooperate in working with us to
interface our products with their design flows, demand for our products may decrease.

To implement our business strategy successfully,
we must provide products that interface with the software of other electronic design automation software companies. Our competitors may not support efforts by us or by our customers to integrate our products into their existing design flows. We must
develop cooperative relationships with competitors so that they will work with us to integrate our software into customers design flow. Currently, our software is designed to interface with the existing software of Cadence, Synopsys and
others. If we are unable to persuade customers to adopt our software products instead of those of competitors (including competitors offering a broader set of products), or if we are unable to persuade other software companies to work with us to
interface our software to meet the demands of chip designers and manufacturers, our business and operating results will suffer.

We may not obtain
sufficient patent protection, which could harm our competitive position and increase our expenses.

Our success and ability to compete
depends to a significant degree upon the protection of our software and other proprietary technology. We currently have a number of issued patents in the United States, but this number is relatively small in comparison to our competitors.

These legal protections afford only limited protection for our technology. In addition, rights that may be granted under any patent
application that may issue in the future may not provide competitive advantages to us. Further, patent protection in foreign jurisdictions where we may need this protection may be limited or unavailable. It is possible that:



| |  |  | our pending U.S. and non-U.S. patents may not be issued;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | competitors may design around our present or future issued patents or may develop competing non-infringing technologies;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | present and future issued patents may not be sufficiently broad to protect our proprietary rights; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | present and future issued patents could be successfully challenged for validity and enforceability.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We believe the patent portfolios of our competitors are far larger than ours, and this may increase the risk that they may sue us for patent infringement
and may limit our ability to counterclaim for patent infringement or settle through patent cross-licenses.

We rely on trademark, copyright and trade
secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights, and if these rights are not sufficiently protected, it could harm our ability to compete and generate income.

To establish and protect our proprietary rights, we rely on a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, and contractual restrictions,
such as confidentiality agreements and licenses. Our ability to compete and grow our business could suffer if these rights are not adequately protected. We seek to protect our source code for our software, documentation and other written materials
under trade secret and copyright laws. We license our software pursuant to agreements, which impose certain restrictions on the licensees ability to utilize the software. We also seek to avoid disclosure of our intellectual property by
requiring employees and consultants with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements. Our proprietary rights may not be adequately protected because:



| |  |  | laws and contractual restrictions in U.S. and foreign jurisdictions may not prevent misappropriation of our technologies or deter others from developing similar
technologies;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | competitors may independently develop similar technologies and software;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | for some of our trademarks, federal U.S. trademark protection may be unavailable to us;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our trademarks might not be protected or protectable in some foreign jurisdictions;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | the validity and scope of our U.S. and foreign trademarks could be successfully challenged; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | policing unauthorized use of our products and trademarks is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and we may be unable to determine the extent of this
unauthorized use.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The laws of some countries in which we market our products may offer little or no protection of our
proprietary technologies. Reverse engineering, unauthorized copying or other misappropriation of our proprietary technologies could enable third parties to benefit from our technologies without paying us for them, which would harm our competitive
position and market share.

Our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders own a substantial portion of our common stock and as a result
of this concentration of ownership may be able to elect most of our directors and delay or prevent a change in control of Magma.

Our
directors, executive officers and stockholders who currently own over 5% of our common stock beneficially own a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock. These stockholders, in a combined vote, will be able to influence significantly all
matters requiring stockholder approval. For example, they may be able to elect most of our directors, delay or prevent a transaction in which stockholders might receive a premium over the market price for their shares or prevent changes in control
or management.

We may need additional capital in the future, but there is no assurance that funds would be available on acceptable terms.

In the future we may need to raise additional capital in order to achieve growth or other business objectives. This financing may not
be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us and may be dilutive to existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to expand, develop or enhance services or
products, or respond to competitive pressures would be limited.

Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware corporate law contain
anti-takeover provisions which could delay or prevent a change in control even if the change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. We could also adopt a stockholder rights plan, which could also delay or prevent a change in control.

Delaware law, as well as our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, contain anti-takeover provisions that could delay or prevent a
change in control of our company, even if the change of control would be beneficial to the stockholders. These provisions could lower the price that future investors might be willing to pay for shares of our common stock. These anti-takeover
provisions:



| |  |  | authorize our Board of Directors to create and issue, without prior stockholder approval, preferred stock that can be issued increasing the number of outstanding
shares and deter or prevent a takeover attempt;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prohibit stockholder action by written consent, thereby requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | establish a classified Board of Directors requiring that not all members of the board be elected at one time;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limit the ability of stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | require advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the Board of Directors and proposals that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder
meetings.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the terms of our stock option plans
may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company. That section generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for three years after the date the stockholder became
an interested stockholder. Also, our stock option plans include change-in-control provisions that allow us to grant options or stock purchase rights that will become vested immediately upon a change in control.

Our board of directors also has the power to adopt a stockholder rights plan, which could delay or prevent a change in control of us even if the change
in control is generally beneficial to our stockholders. These plans, sometimes called poison pills, are sometimes criticized by institutional investors or their advisors and could affect our rating by such investors or advisors. If our
board were to adopt such a plan it might have the effect of reducing the price that new investors are willing to pay for shares of our common stock.

We are subject to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

We transact some portions of our business in various foreign currencies. Accordingly, we are subject to exposure from adverse movements in foreign
currency exchange rates. This exposure is primarily related to a portion of revenue in Japan and operating expenses in Europe, Japan and Asia-Pacific, which are denominated in the respective local currencies. As of August 3, 2008, we had
approximately $3.7 million of cash and money market funds in foreign currencies. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the effects of our currency exposure risk for foreign currency
transactions in Japanese Yen. While we assess the need to utilize financial instruments to hedge currency exposures on an ongoing basis, our assessments may prove incorrect. Therefore, movements in exchange rates could negatively impact our business
operating results and financial condition.

A portion of our marketable securities is invested in auction rate securities. Failures in these auctions
may affect our liquidity and value of these investments.

A portion of our marketable securities portfolio is invested in auction rate
securities which are structured to provide liquidity through an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate generally every 28 days. Starting with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the $18.35 million auction rate securities held by us
failed at auction and have continued to fail at auction due to sell orders exceeding buy orders. These auctions have historically provided a liquid market for these securities. All of the auction rate securities that failed are AAA rated and are
secured by pools of student loans guaranteed by state regulated higher education agencies and reinsured by the U.S. Department of Education. However, the liquidity and fair value of these investments have been impacted primarily by the uncertainty
of the credit markets. In the event we need to liquidate our investments in these types of securities, we will not be able to do so until a successful auction occurs, a buyer is found outside of the auction process or the underlying securities have
matured or are redeemed by the issuer prior to maturity. Given these circumstances and the lack of liquidity, we have classified all of our auction rate securities as long-term investments as of August 3, 2008. Based on an impairment analysis
we have recorded temporary unrealized losses of $0.9 million in other comprehensive income as a reduction in stockholders equity. If a certain concentration of the underlying reference portfolios default, if the issuing agent fails to make the
required interest payments or the final principal payment upon the ultimate maturity of the notes, or if the credit ratings on the underlying reference portfolios deteriorate significantly, we may be required to adjust the carrying value of these
investments through an other-than-temporary impairment charge, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition.

The
convertible notes we issued in March 2007 must be repaid in cash in May 2010, if they are not redeemed or converted into shares of our common stock at an earlier date, which is unlikely to occur if the price of our common stock does not exceed the
conversion price.

In May 2003, we issued $150.0 million principal amount of the Zero Coupon Convertible Subordinated Notes due
May 15, 2008 (the 2008 Notes). In May 2005, we repurchased, in privately negotiated transactions, $44.5 million face amount (or approximately 29.7% of the total) of the 2008 Notes at an average discount to face value of
approximately 22%. In addition, in May 2006, we repurchased another $40.3 million face amount (approximately 38.2% of the remaining principal) of the 2008 Notes at an average discount to face value of approximately 13%. We spent an aggregate of
approximately $34.8 million and $35.0 million, respectively, on the repurchases in May 2005 and May 2006. In March 2007, we exchanged, in privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate principal amount of $49.9 million of the 2008 Notes for an
equal aggregate principal amount of the 2010 Notes. We repaid the $15.2 million remaining principal amount of the 2008 Notes in full in May 2008 and we will be required to repay the $49.9 million principal amount of the 2010 Notes in full in May
2010 unless the holders of those notes elect to convert them into shares of our common stock before the repayment dates or these notes are otherwise redeemed. The conversion price is $15.00 for the 2010 Notes, subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances. If the price of our common stock does not rise above the applicable conversion price, conversion of the notes is unlikely and we would be required to repay the principal amounts of the notes in cash.

We may have insufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations, including payments due on our convertible notes.

We will be required to generate cash sufficient to conduct our business operations and pay our indebtedness and other liabilities, including all amounts,
both principal and interest, due on our outstanding 2010 Notes. The 2010 Notes have an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $49.9 million and bear interest at 2% per annum, with interest payable on May 15 and November 15 of each
year, commencing on May 15, 2007. We may not be able to cover our anticipated debt service obligations from our cash flow. This may materially hinder our ability to make payments on the 2010 Notes. Our ability to meet our future debt service
obligations will depend upon our future performance, which will be subject to financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, we cannot assure that we will be able to make required
principal and interest payments on the 2010 Notes when due.

The conversion of our outstanding convertible notes would result in dilution to our current stockholders, and there
may be additional dilution to our current stockholders upon achievement of various milestones pursuant to our mergers and acquisitions.

The terms of the 2010 Notes permit the holders to convert the 2010 Notes into shares of our common stock. The 2010 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $15.00 per share, which would result
in an aggregate of approximately 3.3 million shares of our common stock being issued upon conversion, subject to adjustment. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, approximately 1.1 million additional shares of our common stock
may be issued upon conversion of the 2010 Notes. The conversion of some or all of the 2010 Notes will dilute the voting power and ownership interest of our existing stockholders. Sales in the public market of a substantial number of shares of our
common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2010 Notes, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and could increase the fluctuations in our stock price. In addition, there may be
additional dilution to our current stockholders upon achievement of various milestones pursuant to our mergers and acquisitions, and such dilution would also dilute the voting power and ownership interest of our existing stockholders and could cause
the market price of our common stock to decline and could increase the fluctuations in our stock price.

We may be unable to meet the requirements under
the indentures to purchase our 2010 Notes upon a change in control.

Upon a change in control, which is defined in the indentures
relating to the 2010 Notes to include some cash acquisitions and private company mergers, note holders may require us to purchase all or a portion of the notes they hold. If a change in control were to occur, we might not have enough funds to pay
the purchase price for all tendered notes. Future credit agreements or other agreements relating to our indebtedness might prohibit the redemption or repurchase of the notes and provide that a change in control constitutes an event of default. If a
change in control occurs at a time when we are prohibited from purchasing the notes, we could seek the consent of our lenders to purchase the notes or could attempt to refinance this debt. If we do not obtain a consent, we could not purchase the
notes. Our failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an event of default under the indenture, which might constitute a default under the terms of our other debt. In such circumstances, or if a change in control would constitute an event of
default under our senior indebtedness, the subordination provisions of the indenture would possibly limit or prohibit payments to note holders. Our obligation to offer to purchase the notes upon a change in control would not necessarily afford note
holders protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, merger or similar transaction involving us.

Failure to obtain export
licenses could harm our business by preventing us from licensing or transferring our technology outside of the United States.

We are
required to comply with U.S. Department of Commerce regulations when shipping our software products and/or transferring our technology outside of the United States or to certain foreign nationals. We believe we have complied with applicable export
regulations, however, these regulations are subject to change, and future difficulties in obtaining export licenses for current, future developed and acquired products and technology, or any failure (if any) by us to comply with such requirements in
the past, could harm our business, financial conditions and operating results.

Our business operations may be adversely affected in the event of an
earthquake or other natural disaster.

Our corporate headquarters and much of our research and development operations are located in San
Jose, California, in Californias Silicon Valley region, which is an area known for its seismic activity. An earthquake, fire or other significant natural disaster could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and/or
operating results.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, on May 15, 2008, we issued 219,823
shares of our common stock as part of the contingent consideration paid to certain former stockholders of Mojave, Inc, in connection with our acquisition of Mojave, Inc. pursuant to a definitive agreement dated as of February 23, 2004. The
contingent share consideration was based on the achievement of certain technology milestones and product orders. We may issue additional contingent share consideration of up to $32.2 million based on additional product orders over the period ending
March 31, 2009. These securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof.
